Konstantelias to Dortmund done, Kostoglou in

Konstantelias is a Dortmund player

Giannis Konstantelias completed his move to Borussia Dortmund on Monday (17/08) (2). The fee sits around €30 million, with a five-year contract (4). Konstantelias will also take 5% of the transfer fee plus €1.5 million in extra bonuses as part of his agreement with PAOK (3). He becomes the second Greek international at Dortmund after Konstantinos Karetsas (5).

Your replacement is 17

PAOK moved fast. Christos-Giannis Kostoglou, a 17-year-old Greek midfielder, joins from Dortmund on a three-year deal (1). A direct swap of sorts, with the teenager heading in the opposite direction to the star who just left.

Ndiaye joins the attack up front

Cherif Ndiaye has signed from Samsunspor (6). The attacker brings significant European experience to the front line as PAOK reshape their squad under Andrea Trinchieri.

Levadiakos on Sunday

Your first league test is Sunday, 23 August at 20:00 CEST against Levadiakos. Two new faces in the door, one big one out.

Fan-reaktioner

The mood is mixed. One fan summed it up in the thread title: "Selling Delia with as much composure as possible." The core frustration isn't the sale itself but the sense that the club never really tried to keep him, even as Konstantelias earns a fully deserved €3 million a year at Dortmund.
