Yiannis Konstantelias has been in Germany and Dortmund since noon on Sunday (August 16), with the aim of finalizing his transfer to Borussia.
Upon his arrival at the airport in the German city, the 23-year-old PAOK star was seen talking on a video call on his phone, characteristically stating that he loves the “double-headed eagle of the north,” and sending his greetings—likely to his teammates.
“I love PAOK, I love you guys. No, really. Don’t even think that. Really, really, I love you all so much. Kisses, guys,” the Greek international attacking midfielder can be heard saying.
According to what has been reported so far, the player has reached an agreement with the Westphalians on a multi-year contract, with the Germans’ offer to PAOK amounting to 30 million euros.
