This season The five major European leagues The winter transfer window has opened, but so far there has been no big transfer. However, a number of media have recently reported that in order to ease financial pressure, Bundesliga team Schalke 04 is willing to sell the most concerned 20-year-old Turkish central defender Kabak in the winter transfer window.
As we all know, after the resignation of the club chairman Tunis, whose own value is 1.3 billion euros, Schalke 04, who lost his backer, has fallen into a serious economic crisis, and selling players for transfer income has become the only option for the team to tide over the difficulties. Di Carlo, a FIFA-licensed agent, said in an interview with Milan News recently: "Schalke started the season in a complex form, they are currently at the bottom of the Bundesliga and their financial situation is not optimistic. It means they can't bargain for too long."
stemmed from this, and media such as "Turin Sports Daily" even followed up reports: As long as the transfer fee is received in time, Schalke is currently only priced at 15 million euros for Kabac (another There are rumors of 20 million euros). If the above media reports are true, it can be seen that Schalke did not hesitate to sell Kabak at the price of cabbage in the face of huge economic pressure.
Kabak debuted in Turkey Galatasaray youth academy. In the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League group stage, Kabak, who was only 18 years, 6 months and 29 days old, made his debut on behalf of Galatasaray and played full The audience, thus becoming the team's fourth young player in the UEFA Champions League debut. Not only that, in this Champions League debut, Kabak contributed 70 passes, 65 precise passes, 7 clearances and 6 steals for the team, all of which were the highest in the game, while his opponent at the time It is Schalke 04.
After the winter window of the season opened, Kabak joined Stuttgart in January 2019 for 11 million euros, and immediately became the team's main central defender, and was elected the Bundesliga Rookie of the Year with 15 appearances and 3 goals. . However, due to Stuttgart's tragic relegation at the end of the season, Kabak, whose release clause was activated, entered the transfer market again.
At this point, Reschke, who had just moved from Stuttgart to Schalke as sporting director, played an important role. In the end, Schalke successfully signed Kabak from Stuttgart in the summer of 2019 through a 15 million euro release clause, and defeated many competitors such as Bayern , West Ham United and so on. Today, Kabak's worth in the German transfer market has approached 30 million, and he is regarded as the most valuable "post-00" central defender.
There is no doubt that when such a high-quality young central defender enters the transfer market, it will naturally attract the attention of many giant teams. According to comprehensive media reports, many teams including AC Milan, Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester United, etc. have all shown interest in Kabak, but the above teams have not made real offers so far, which shows that these potential next players may be in Waiting for Schalke to "take advantage of the fire" after their relegation - so far this season, Schalke has only won 1 game in the Bundesliga and ranks second to last.
In addition, a team that has recently conceded 10 consecutive Bundesliga games should also take the opportunity to consider it?
