Fabrizio Romano: Benfica-linked midfielder sold for over €30m | OneFootball

Giannis Konstantelias has left PAOK for Borussia Dortmund. The claim comes from Fabrizio Romano, who says the deal is practically done and reveals that the documents between the two clubs have already been signed. However, the player has not yet been officially announced by the German club.

The 23-year-old Greek attacking midfielder is set to move to the Bundesliga for a fee of €32 million, including add-ons. PAOK will also be entitled to 15% of any future sale of the player, who scored 10 goals and provided two assists in 31 matches last season.

Konstantelias was even in Dortmund on Sunday, as the transfer process enters its final stages. The footballer has made four appearances for PAOK at the start of this season, but is now preparing to begin a new adventure in Germany.

Developed at PAOK, Konstantelias is regarded as one of the most promising talents in Greek football and had already attracted interest from several European clubs. The attacking midfielder’s name had been linked with both Sporting and Benfica, with the Eagles monitoring the player’s situation during the transfer window at the start of 2026.

The move to Borussia Dortmund therefore definitively takes Konstantelias off Benfica’s radar. Benfica miss out on a player who had even been mentioned as one of the priorities to strengthen the attacking department, but who is now preparing to join one of the Bundesliga’s main clubs.
