For Karetsas: BVB chiefs head to Genk! | OneFootball

Konstantinos Karetsas is expected to move to Dortmund this summer if possible. BVB have been working on a deal for quite some time, but it is not finalized yet.

Negotiations are ongoing, and most recently Milan have also entered the race. Dortmund are not under pressure just yet because they are still in pole position, but there are competitors and also some time pressure before other clubs join in.

According to Sky information, Dortmund’s bosses want to travel to Genk later this week to negotiate in person with KRC and sporting director Dimitri De Condé. The deal is now becoming a top-level matter and is being pushed forward personally!

BVB still need to increase the overall package

One thing is clear: Dortmund definitely need to improve their offer. The last bid was a little over €30 million. However, KRC Genk are demanding around €35 million upfront. In total, the Belgians want to receive up to €40 million including bonus payments.

Ole Book and co. now want to try to convince Genk’s representatives directly, especially since the player has also had very positive talks with Dortmund. The Greek would like to move to Dortmund, but apparently he is also not ruling out taking a different path if BVB and Genk cannot reach an agreement.

BVB definitely have the financial means to raise their offer a little further. However, it is also clear that Dortmund do not want to pay too much, because they still have other targets as well. Among them is an attacking winger – as a replacement for Karim Adeyemi, who is set to join FC Barcelona.

Karetsas is definitely seen as a player who can be integrated quickly at BVB and fulfil his huge potential. He fits the Black and Yellows’ strategy, but now the focus is on getting the deal over the line.
