Summary

Borussia Dortmund and KRC Genk are in ongoing negotiations regarding midfielder Konstantinos Karetsas. Dortmund has reportedly offered €30 million plus potential bonuses but Genk is holding out for a guaranteed €35 million, creating a significant gap. Karetsas has agreed to personal terms but the transfer fee remains unresolved. Talks between the two clubs did not yield an agreement in recent discussions, making it doubtful that the player will join Dortmund before their pre-season tour in Japan begins on Sunday.
