😱 Dortmund signing who'd already impressed suffers SERIOUS injury | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund went to PAOK to sign talented Greek attacking midfielder Giannis Konstantelias for €26 million.

He had already been making a very positive impression, but he will now be out for a LONG time.

After only TWO matches in the black-and-yellow shirt.

Fears of a serious injury were confirmed this Sunday (30).

Konstantelias suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee after leaving Saturday’s (29) game against Hamburg early.

BVB did not say how long he will be sidelined.

Konstantelias had already caught the eye in the team’s first official match of the season, the defeat to Bayern in the Super Cup decider.

And his Bundesliga debut, against Hamburg, even featured a goal.

He had started 2026/2027 still with PAOK, recording three goals and one assist in Europa League playoff matches.

He was coming off 38 goals and 15 assists over the previous three seasons.

Journalist Florian Plettenberg, of Sky Sports, has already stated that BVB will look for a last-minute signing.

The transfer window in Germany will remain open until 6 p.m. local time (1 p.m. Brasília time) this Monday, September 1.
