Done deal: Greece star Konstantelias bound for BVB | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund are currently working intensively in the transfer market to strengthen their squad. Giannis Konstantelias of PAOK Thessaloniki is set to be the next player to move to Dortmund. 

According to consistent media reports, BVB and PAOK have now reached a final agreement, and Dortmund have also already agreed terms with the player.

The 23-year-old is now expected to sign his contract shortly. He was already in Dortmund over the weekend, and the deal is on the verge of being completed. After Konstantinos Karetsas, Konstantelias will be the second Greek player signed for BVB’s attack.

He is also a type of player not entirely unlike Karetsas. Konstantelias is a creative player with strong technical ability. Dortmund had him lined up from the start as a clear Plan B in case the transfer of Said El Mala did not go through.

In addition, Joey Veerman of PSV Eindhoven is also expected to move to Dortmund before the Super Cup this weekend. The midfielder has a release clause.

There is no such clause in Konstantelias’ case. According to Sky, a fixed fee of around €26 million will be due for him, although the amount could rise to around €32 million through bonuses, some of which are relatively easy to achieve.

The Greek is expected to sign a contract until 2030. The medical is no longer an obstacle, as he has already passed it. PAOK have also secured a sell-on clause in case Konstantelias leaves BVB in the future.

Exactly when the deal will be officially confirmed, and whether it will be enough for him to earn a place in the squad for Saturday’s Super Cup against Bayern Munich, will only become clear in the next few days. In any case, planning for the attack could now be complete.
