Borussia Dortmund nears €30m deal for Giannis Konstantelias from PAOK Saloniki

Borussia Dortmund is close to finalizing the signing of Giannis Konstantelias from PAOK Saloniki, reportedly for a fee that could reach €30m, including bonuses. This follows Dortmund's unsuccessful efforts to sign Köln's Said El Mala, prompting a quick pivot to Konstantelias. The 23-year-old Greek forward is expected to sign a four-year contract worth approximately €3.2m annually. Konstantelias, who can play across several attacking positions, is seen as a key addition following Karim Adeyemi's transfer to Barcelona. Dortmund hopes to complete the deal soon as the player has already left Greece for Germany.
