It seems that their offer has already reached 30 million euros, which in reality comes down to a fairly small difference.<\/p>\n<p>The German side is looking for a replacement for Julian Brandt, who left on a free transfer. Karetsas, 18, is an elegant playmaker who can move the ball between the lines and looks like the perfect candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Dortmund have a great history of signing young players and could be another winner here if they get this player over the line.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_other_news%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>In other news&#8230;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Julian Alvarez could earn an even bigger \u20ac35 million this summer if Atletico Madrid get what they want&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Leslie Ugochukwu is set to leave Burnley for Galatasaray, which is good news for another Premier League team who will receive a cut of his \u00a330m transfer fee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Download the official CaughtOffSide app and get all the latest updates straight to your phone!
