"A sign of fate? Sometimes there are signs that seem like destiny. Konstantinos Karetsas - Genk's talented left-footed forward - hadn't scored this season before the most recent round of the Europa League. He is an attacking midfielder who plays mostly on the right, he's more accustomed to setting up goals than scoring them himself. Assists are his specialty, with nine already in all competitions. The match against Basel, in short, was the classic exception."
"Apparently, the report on the 18-year-old was very positive, and not just because of his Del Piero-esque goal. Born in Belgium, he has chosen Greece as his national team, already scoring three goals in nine appearances for them. Despite being 173cm (5'8″) tall and small in build, he can play at a high tempo and thrives in one-on-one situations, thanks to his pace in tight spaces."
"At the Cegeka Arena on November 27th, there was a scout present from Milan, who had come to Belgium specifically to watch him. Sure, he's not the type of player the Rossoneri can immediately benefit from given there is a question mark about where he fits in a 3-5-2, but Milan could beat the competition to land him, which is growing. It will cost to do so, though. How much? At least €25m, but it could end up a bargain."
Milan needs an attacking reinforcement to boost title hopes and has scouted Konstantinos Karetsas at Genk. Karetsas is an 18-year-old left-footed attacking midfielder who predominantly plays on the right and excels at creating chances, registering nine assists in all competitions. He scored for Greece at youth level and has three goals in nine appearances for his national team. At 173cm and slight build he thrives in tight spaces, excels in one-on-one situations and can operate at a high tempo. Milan faces growing competition and would likely pay at least €25m for his transfer, though he could be a bargain.
