Konstantinos Karetsas

In August 2026, Konstantinos Karetsas completed a transfer from Genk to Borussia Dortmund for a confirmed base fee of €30 million. Reports from July 2026 during the negotiations detailed various structures, with total packages including bonuses cited between €32 million and €38 million, and some suggesting it could reach €40-45 million. Genk's asking price was consistently reported in the €35 million to €45 million range throughout 2026. Prior to the move, in June 2026, Galatasaray was linked with a €30 million bid. Earlier in 2026, various asking prices were cited, from a minimum of €35 million up to €45 million, with Real Madrid reportedly considering a €35 million offer in April. A Transfermarkt valuation of €35 million was noted in October 2026.

Our valuation is driven by the recent August 2026 transfer of Konstantinos Karetsas from KRC Genk to Borussia Dortmund. The deal was widely reported with a base fee of €30 million, supplemented by various bonuses that place the total potential value in the low-to-mid €30 millions. This is corroborated by Genk's consistent asking price of €35-40 million during negotiations and the player's current Transfermarkt valuation of €35 million, which supports the upper end of our range.
