Dortmund Interested in Karetsa

German football club Borussia Dortmund is reportedly interested in acquiring Greek international footballer Konstantinos Karetsa, who plays for Genk. Dortmund is looking for a replacement for Julian Brandt, who is not expected to renew his contract. According to reports, Dortmund sees Karetsa as a player who can meet the team's needs and generate profits in the event of a resale. However, Genk is asking for 35 million euros for Karetsa's transfer, an amount considered high for Dortmund's current budget. The situation could change if Dortmund proceeds with player sales in the summer. At the same time, the team is also considering the case of Aleksandar Stankovic from Bruges, who is not opposed to moving to Germany, despite having a contract with the Belgian team until 2029. Dortmund's interest in Karetsa highlights the recognition of the Greek footballer's talent abroad and the opportunities to play in a top European league.
