Borussia Dortmund step up their pursuit of Konstantinos Karetsas: sporting director Book prepares for the decisive meeting with Genk, what is filtering through on AC Milan

Right now AC Milan, who according to Belgian and Greek sources are very keen on Karetsas’ profile, (who would fit perfectly with Ruben Amorim’s demand for a left-footed attacking midfielder behind the central striker), are on the back foot. After investing around €100 million in the signings of Gonçalo Ramos and Mario Gila, AC Milan are now focused mainly on the departures that need to be completed to free up places and raise funds. Above all Rafa Leao’s, who is at the centre of a transfer tug of war between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce. Until that situation is resolved, AC Milan are unlikely to make a concrete move for another signing, which could open the door for Dortmund’s move for Karetsas.
