"He is a magician" - BVB fans react to Giannis Konstantelias signing
Just days on from signing Konstantinos Karetsas, Borussia Dortmund have roped in another Greek player in Giannis Konstantelias from PAOK Thessaloniki.
The 23-year-old completes a transfer worth €26million, which could rise by another €6million with performance-based add-on bonuses and signed a five-year contract.
His arrival marks an important step in their squad rebuilding as the BVB have finally managed to get their hands on an attacking midfielder who can also operate from the left wing.
Fans couldn't contain their excitement upon seeing yet another talented young gun joining their ranks and took to X to make their feelings known:
With two active Greek internationals now on the roster, one X user cheekily asked:
Did the Greek national team just get renamed BVB? 😏
This user wanted to see a picture of both of Dortmund's Greek stars in a single frame:

Another X user hailed Konstantelias as:
Probably the best greek player in the last 50 years
This user described the 23-year-old in a rather interesting way:
He is a magician. Great addition for BVB
Another fan felt the transfer was an absolute bargain:
He is a steal. Worth 75 M easy. He is super class.
A Greek fan was excited to see him at BVB hereon, as they tweeted:
A wizard in Dortmund. An opportunity to watch Borussia this year. From Panathinaikos, good luck Yianni
This fan hailed Konstantelias as 'most talented' player from his country yet:
Take care of our boy BvB. Most talented Greek player of our lifetime. Can’t wait to see him and Karetsas make magic on the pitch.
This fan wished the player well on his new adventure:
Best of luck Delias on your new adventure! We re so proud of you, you deserve only the best and we ll be following your magic in #BVB 🖤💛! 🇬🇷
Another fan who left him a warm welcome:
HEJA BVB!!!! Welkom to Borussia Dortmund, Giannis Konstantelias 💛🖤
This X user is planning to tune into the German top-flight hereon:
Guess it's time to start watching Bundesliga.
Another fan hailed Konstantelias as:
A talented young man
Another cheeky welcome for the young Greek lad:
Welcome to the greatest club ever🙏🏼
One X user was approved their new No.10:
Dortmund locking up Greek talent early, smart move for that 10 role.
However, this one X user foresights a tough start to life in Dortmund for Konstantelias:
Under Kovac, he’ll be sitting on the bench for the first three months because he isn’t physically ready yet (as always 🤣). Then come the muscle issues, and—bam—it’s the second half of the season. #BVB
