He took his first steps in soccer at Agia Paraskevi in his hometown. Even as a nine-year-old, he stood out so much that he regularly trained with older players. In 2013, he moved to the youth academy of PAOK Thessaloniki. There, he continued to develop over the following years and received numerous awards at national and international youth tournaments.  \n<\/p>\nKonstantelias made his professional debut for PAOK in January 2021 at the age of 17 in the Greek Super League against OFI Crete. On his way to becoming a regular starter, he spent the first half of 2022 on loan for six months with Belgian first-division club KAS Eupen.<\/p>\nThe attacking player made his definitive breakthrough during the 2023\u201324 season. That season, PAOK, under head coach Razvan Lucescu, surprisingly won the Greek championship. Konstantelias played a major role in this success, contributing nine goals and six assists. <\/p>\nIn 2024\u201325, he was even named the best Greek player in the Super League. Since then, he has also become a established figure on the Greek national team. Konstantelias now has 18 senior international appearances and has played alongside BVB newcomer Konstantinos Karetsas for the Hellenes on multiple occasions. <\/p>\n<img data-assetref=\"karetsas-konstantelias-1786978962737\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/08/17/konstantelias/karetsas-konstantelias.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2>A player who wants to make a difference<\/b><\/h2>\nKonstantelias is an attacking midfielder who feels particularly at home playing between the lines. He can operate centrally behind the striker, though he was occasionally deployed on the left wing while in Thessaloniki. <\/p>\nBold dribbling, plenty of creativity in the opponent\u2019s danger zone, and numerous direct goal contributions are the hallmarks of the 1.78-meter-tall player. Even as a teenager, he said in an interview: \u201cMy playing style is creative and technically sophisticated, and I always try to bring something special to the final third.\u201d<\/p>\nAcross all competitions, he scored 13 times last season; in the most recent Europa League qualifiers, he contributed directly to four goals in four appearances over the past few weeks. <\/p>\nFor a classic number 10, he frequently gets the ball in the opponent\u2019s penalty area; he scored the majority of his goals for PAOK from there. Giannis Konstantelias is a player who actively seeks solutions and aims to create decisive moments\u2014whether as a playmaker or as a finisher himself. <\/p>\n<h2>A Creative Cornerstone for BVB<\/b><\/h2>\nIn Thessaloniki, the midfielder was celebrated for his attacking drive and goal-scoring threat, rising to become one of PAOK\u2019s biggest fan favorites.<\/p>\nWith Giannis Konstantelias, Borussia Dortmund is gaining a technically gifted and versatile attacking player. Whether facing deep-lying opponents or teams that press high up the field, the Greek player can be just as valuable with his creativity and courage. <\/p>\nKonstantelias aims to make BVB\u2019s attacking play even more unpredictable and inject new energy with his skills. \n Mats-Yannick Roth<\/i><\/p>\n<a href=\"https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2026/8/17/BVB-signs-Giannis-Konstantelias.html\" target=\"_blank\">BVB Signs Giannis Konstantelias<\/a><\/p>\n","title":"Text","multiValue":false,"value":"Giannis Konstantelias was born on 5 March, 2003, in Volos.
