Borussia Dortmund has reportedly reached an agreement for Konstantinos Karetsas, a promising young playmaker from KRC Genk. This news comes from German transfer insider Florian Plettenberg, who highlights that the negotiations have been ongoing but now seem to be nearing completion.

After months of pursuit, Dortmund appears to have agreed on a deal estimated around €30 million, with Genk initially holding out for €35 million. The clubs have reached an agreement in principle, although some minor details remain to be finalized.

Karetsas, an 18-year-old talent, is seen as a perfect replacement for Julian Brandt, who recently departed the club on a free transfer. His ability as an elegant playmaker capable of maneuvering through defenses makes him an attractive addition to Dortmund's squad, known for nurturing young talent.

• Lesley Ugochukwu will be leaving Burnley for Galatasaray, which benefits another Premier League club that will receive a percentage of his £30 million transfer fee.
