Konstantinos Karetsas

Recent reports from April-June 2026 consistently state Genk's asking price is €45 million, though some suggest they seek €35 million or would accept over €30 million. During this period, Real Madrid was reportedly preparing a €35 million offer, and Galatasaray a €30 million bid. Earlier in 2026, reports mentioned a minimum fee of €35 million, a potential €25 million offer from AC Milan (February), and a near-deal with Arsenal for approximately €45 million (£38m) (January). Throughout late 2025 and early 2026, a release clause was repeatedly cited, valued between €40 million and £35 million (approx. €41 million). Transfermarkt's valuation has also risen, noted at €28 million in February 2026 and €35 million by March 2026.

Our valuation for Konstantinos Karetsas is driven by KRC Genk's consistent and publicly stated asking price of €45 million, which aims to set a new Belgian transfer record. This is strongly supported by numerous reports of a release clause around €40 million and reported interest from multiple top-tier European clubs, with some rumoured offers and near-deals, such as from Arsenal and Real Madrid, falling within the €35-45 million bracket. The high volume and consistency of these reports indicate a very active and high-value market for the player.
