"AC Milan have sent scouts to watch Konstantinos Karetsas in action for Genk, but the admiration goes back over a year. La Gazzetta dello Sport report that Milan sent representatives to watch the Europa League match against Basel on November 27th, and 'Kos' - as he is known - scored the goal to make it 2-0. It was the right way to make an impression."
""Leipzig, AC Milan, and even Manchester City invited us several times. We didn't go for them. The only club we had discussions with, other than Genk, was Ajax. This was simply because they're close by and we have a lot of respect for that club. It was just a conversation. The second one would have been about sporting and financial matters, but by then we had already given our word to Genk.""
"Karetzas will never be as good, but many like him. Greece and Belgium, for example, fought a battle for him for the national team. Now, Genk are getting ready for when he flees the nest, like Kevin De Bruyne, Kalidou Koulibaly, Thibaut Courtois, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Leon Bailey did. Karetsas always played for Belgium in his youth teams, the nation where he was born and raised. However, on February 25th, he wrote on Instagram: "After much reflection, I have decided to represent Greece.""
AC Milan sent scouts to watch Konstantinos Karetsas play for Genk, including at the Europa League match against Basel where he scored to make it 2-0. Karetsas attracted attention from top clubs previously; his father said Leipzig, AC Milan and Manchester City invited them but only Ajax held discussions before Genk secured him. Last season he played 25 Belgian league games, scoring twice; this season he has become a regular, providing assists and intelligent passes. He is a playmaker who can operate on the right wing and admires Ronaldinho and Neymar. He played youth internationals for Belgium but announced on February 25th he will represent Greece.
