Borussia Dortmund close to signing Konstantinos Karetsas

Borussia Dortmund has made significant progress in negotiations for Greek midfielder Konstantinos Karetsas. The 24-year-old is expected to join soon, while talks for Said El Mala remain complex. The Black and Yellows finished last season in second place, 16 points behind champions Bayern Munich.

With Karetsas, Borussia Dortmund could gain a key player for the upcoming season. The Greek brings experience from the Greek Super League and could strengthen the team's attack. Last season, BVB scored 70 goals and conceded 34, resulting in a +36 goal difference.

Negotiations for Said El Mala are proving difficult. The 22-year-old striker is in high demand, and several clubs are interested in signing him. Borussia Dortmund must handle a tough negotiation process to secure the player. The next BVB match is away against Werder Bremen on February 20, 2027.

After securing Karetsas, Borussia Dortmund will continue to strengthen the squad. The focus is on preparing for the new season, which starts in August. The Black and Yellows aim to challenge Bayern Munich for the title and close the 16-point gap.
