Konstantelias to Dortmund, PAOK's record sale

Konstantelias to Dortmund for five years

Giannis Konstantelias is gone. Dortmund announced the transfer on a five-year deal (1). It's the most expensive sale in PAOK history.

€26m guaranteed, plus bonuses

The numbers are in. €26m guaranteed, €6m in bonuses, and a 15% sell-on clause (2). That puts Konstantelias ahead of Tzimas, Koulierakis, Tzolis, Prijovic, and everyone else on the all-time sales list (2).

Ndiaye joins on loan

Cherif Ndiaye has signed. The 30-year-old Senegalese striker arrives on loan from Samsunspor with a €3m option to buy, wearing the number 27 (3) (4).

Fan reactions

The mood on Reddit is heavy. Fans are disappointed less by the sale itself than by the belief that management never seriously tried to keep Konstantelias, and that the money won't be reinvested. Anger at Savvidis runs through several threads. Read the full discussion here
