Borussia Dortmund targets Konstantinos Karetsas as Brandt successor

Summary

Borussia Dortmund is considering a transfer for KRC Genk's Konstantinos Karetsas, as reported by Sky Germany. The 18-year-old midfielder has become a priority for the club following Julian Brandt's departure. Karetsas, who contributed 18 assists and three goals in 49 appearances last season, is reportedly interested in joining Dortmund. A reported €35 million asking price from Genk poses a challenge, but funds from Karim Adeyemi's potential transfer to Barcelona may facilitate the move.
