AC Milan targets K.R.C. Genk defender Karetsas
AC Milan is interested in K.R.C. Genk defender Konstantinos Karetsas but must first sell players to complete the transfer. According to Tuttosport, the Italian club is looking for a new defender and sees Karetsas as a key option. The 23-year-old Greek defender had a strong season with K.R.C. Genk, including performances in the UEFA Europa League.
What is the current situation?
AC Milan needs to sell players first to have enough budget for Karetsas' transfer. The club is still negotiating with Borussia Dortmund for another defender, but Karetsas remains a priority. The Greek defender has a contract with K.R.C. Genk until 2027, which could complicate negotiations.
What does this mean for K.R.C. Genk?
Losing Karetsas would be a big blow for K.R.C. Genk, especially after his strong performances in the Europa League. The club will need to find a suitable replacement or restructure the defense. Karetsas' departure would also have a financial impact, but K.R.C. Genk could receive a significant transfer fee.
What comes next?
AC Milan will try to sell players in the coming weeks to make the Karetsas transfer possible. K.R.C. Genk will likely aim to secure the best deal, both financially and sportingly. The situation will develop in the coming days, with the transfer window still open until the end of the summer.
