The German media are focusing on Konstantelia today. This time, Kicker is reporting on the case of PAOK’s Greek star, noting that Dortmund, following its failed attempt to sign El Mala, has turned its attention to the star of theNorth.
“The failed attempt to sign El Mala is leading Dortmund to explore alternatives. PAOK’s Giannis Konstantelias remains a strong candidate,” it reports, among other things.
In its article, the German website provides details about his playing profile, his skills, and his playing style. It emphasizes that the right-hand man of the team’s technical director scouted him up close while watching PAOK’s match against Anderlecht in Brussels, having been informed that, due to a personal issue, the Greek star arrived in the city five hours before the match.
It goes on to report that PAOK has suffered a significant financial blow from its elimination from the Europa League, amounting to seven million euros, and adds that “Konstantelias is the player who would have brought in the highest transfer fee for the Greek team.”
“His value isn’t quite in the range of the nearly 50 million euros being offered for El Mala; PAOK and its president, Ivan Savvidis, according to *kicker*, estimate his value at around 30 million euros. The two matches against Bra next week and on August 27, in which Konstantelias is expected to play for the team due to their importance, could complicate the negotiations,” the article concludes.
