BVB turn up the pressure: new move for Karetsas planned | OneFootball

Konstantinos Karetsas is Borussia Dortmund’s absolute top target. BVB have already spoken directly with KRC Genk twice, most recently at a summit with Dortmund’s bosses in Belgium.

So far, however, without success. Yes, there has been some progress, but nothing more than that. The overall package currently offered by Dortmund is just over €30 million.

Genk are demanding up to €40 million in total. On the positive side, the Belgians know that BVB have recently improved their offers. And that Karetsas wants to move to Dortmund.

But of course, that is still no guarantee that a deal will be completed.

“We’re continuing to work hard and we’ll get something done,” coach Niko Kovac said calmly on Saturday around the friendly defeat to Düsseldorf.

Sporting director Ole Book, on the other hand, who according to information from the Ruhr Nachrichten is initially not expected to travel to Japan, openly admitted that the club is not yet as far along as it would like to be: “Of course we would have liked to have already signed an attacking player. But at the end of the day, you have to take the laws of the market into account.

In any case, they do not want to rush anything with Karetsas, nor do they want to be too patient. Dortmund are trying to make the breakthrough with their next offer, but if there still have to be two more rounds of negotiations, then so be it.

As has been emphasized several times, the aim is to get the deal done, not to get it done as quickly as possible and end up paying one or two million euros too much. And if it works out in the end, that is a good strategy.
