Konstantinos Karetsas

Recent reports from mid-2026 indicate KRC Genk is demanding a fixed fee of at least €35 million, with a total package goal of €45 million, in ongoing negotiations with Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund has reportedly had three offers, all above €26 million, rejected. During this period, AC Milan was linked with a €40 million valuation, while Galatasaray was reportedly preparing a €30 million bid. Earlier in 2026, Genk's asking price was consistently cited as €45 million, with Real Madrid reportedly preparing a €35 million offer and a deal with Arsenal for around €45 million said to have been close in January. In February 2026, AC Milan was reportedly willing to offer €25 million. Reports from March and April 2025 mentioned a release clause of £35 million (approximately €40-41 million).

Our valuation for Konstantinos Karetsas is driven by KRC Genk's consistently high and widely reported asking price, which ranges from a minimum of €35 million to a total package of €45 million. This is substantiated by intense, ongoing negotiations with top clubs like Borussia Dortmund, who have reportedly had multiple bids above €26 million rejected. Furthermore, reported prepared offers from clubs like Galatasaray (€30 million) and Real Madrid (€35 million), along with a near-agreement with Arsenal for approximately €45 million, solidify this valuation range.
