Gazzetta.gr Amorim Crazy About Karetsas as Milan Prepare Overtake Attempt Next Few Days Crucial

FolioPitch.com – 25 July 2026 | The transfer saga of 18-year-old Konstantinos Karetsas continues to captivate the football world, with AC Milan preparing to make a bold move to overtake Borussia Dortmund in the pursuit of the young talent. According to Gazzetta.gr, the next few days are crucial in determining the future of Karetsas, who has already been wooed by Dortmund with a five-year contract and a pay rise.

Gazzetta.gr reports that Dortmund directors made a lightning trip to Belgium to negotiate with Genk, the current club of Karetsas, and increased their offer from €28m plus bonuses to €29m plus bonuses with a 10% resale percentage. However, Genk has insisted on a higher price of €40m, putting the deal on hold once again.

Meanwhile, Milan boss Ruben Amorim is said to be ‘crazy’ about Karetsas, who was one of his first targets when he took over as the Rossoneri’s manager. With Rafael Leao potentially heading to Fenerbahce, Milan may soon make an official approach to Genk to take pole position in the transfer battle.

As the clock ticks down, Dortmund is buying time, having already secured Karetsas’ approval for the project they presented to him. However, Milan is not giving up, with the next few days set to be decisive ones in determining the future of Karetsas.

The Rossoneri have reportedly ‘started the engines to drive a wedge into the affair’, attempting to outmaneuver Dortmund in the transfer market. If they succeed, it could be a major coup for Milan, who are eager to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
