Karetsas has big BVB plans: “I want titles, not just one” | OneFootball

After his move to Borussia Dortmund, Konstantinos Karetsas has spoken for the first time about his decision. The 18-year-old raves about the BVB fans while also setting ambitious goals for his time in Dortmund.

Konstantinos Karetsas is officially a Borussia Dortmund player – and the 18-year-old Greek could hardly be more excited about his new chapter. After intensive negotiations, the midfield talent chose BVB despite interest from numerous clubs. A key factor was above all his long-standing connection to the club.

“Because the club has always been one of my favorite clubs. That’s the main reason,” Karetsas said in his first interview after signing his contract. He also said he had heard many positive things about Borussia Dortmund from people around him, which further reinforced his decision.

The new signing is particularly impressed by the atmosphere at Signal Iduna Park. “BVB have the best fans – the craziest ones, in a positive way! 80,000, I’ve never played in front of so many people. So that’s very exciting for me,” said the attacking player. The people in the Ruhr region also left a positive impression on him. He said they were down-to-earth and hardworking – qualities that remind him of his hometown of Genk.

BVB place great hopes in new signing Karetsas

Borussia Dortmund are also placing great hopes in their new signing. Sporting director Ole Book particularly praised his qualities on the ball. “With his creativity and game intelligence, Kos will enrich our team. He is technically very accomplished and has the ability to find quick solutions in tight spaces, especially in the final third!”

Karetsas himself describes himself as a creative, team-oriented player who always works hard and wants to help his team. His personal goals go beyond his own development. “My personal goals are to continue developing as much as possible, take the next step in my career, score more goals, and contribute to the team. And from the team’s perspective, of course my goal is to win titles – and not just one.” With these ambitious words, the Greek makes it clear that he is setting high standards for himself at BVB from the very beginning.
