Agreement reached! BVB close to signing Karetsas | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund have been working for quite some time on a deal with KRC Genk to sign Konstantinos Karetsas. The Black and Yellows recently submitted several offers, but without success. 

However, Dortmund remained persistent, with constant contact in recent days, including a direct meeting in Belgium. And a new offer.

But even that still did not meet KRC Genk’s asking price. Dortmund had to improve their bid, and they have now done so.

Agreement reached! Karetsas on his way to BVB

According to information from Sky, a final agreement has now been reached between the Belgians and Dortmund. As a result, Konstantinos Karetsas is set to join the Black and Yellows shortly. The transfer terms were adjusted once again recently, and the deal will go through.

Sporting director Ole Book did not travel to Japan but stayed in Germany to handle transfer talks. Apparently now with success.

The verbal agreement was reached today during direct talks in Genk. Ole Book achieved the breakthrough in Belgium, with the sporting director negotiating the final details. 32 million euros will be transferred immediately to the Belgians, with further add-on payments to follow later.

The attacking midfielder is expected to take over Julian Brandt’s role in the BVB squad. The 18-year-old is regarded as an outstanding talent and will arrive in Dortmund with high expectations. He is seen as an investment in the future, but also as a player who can make an immediate impact.

In the end, he is not cheap, also because Genk have secured a share of any possible future sale. Nevertheless, the deal should initially be viewed positively, because Dortmund are getting a player who was determined to join them.
