He was once considered one of the greatest defensive talents in the Bundesliga and even played eight times on loan in the Champions League for Liverpool FC: Ozan Kabak. At FC Schalke, however, the central defender no longer played a role for several reasons.
Kabak still has a contract with the second division club until 2024. After his current loan to Premier League team Norwich City, the 22-year-old will probably return to Gelsenkirchen for the time being, but without having a future at Schalke.
According to information from the “West German General Newspaper” it is “excluded” that the 15-time Turkish national player will be seen in the Schalke jersey again.
First of all, Kabak is considered far too expensive. He should be finally removed from the payroll as soon as possible, as he is considered the top earner in the team with an estimated three million euros a year in the Royal Blues.
In addition, it is doubted at Schalke whether Kabak would still have the sporting quality that he once promised as a highly gifted teenager when he was transferred in the summer of 2019.
The defensive man for your current club Norwich City was injured several times and never really got going with the Canaries. He played eleven games in the Premier League this season and didn’t play a single game for several months between December and March.
FC Schalke 04 is said to be ready to sell Kabak for a high single-digit million amount. Where he might be drawn to is still completely open.
Also Harit probably without a future at FC Schalke 04
The situation is similar for Amine Harit. The Moroccan, who was also relegated from the Bundesliga with S04 last year, has improved significantly in recent months and has performed well in the jersey of loan club Olympique Marseille.
However, Harit should also be considered far too expensive – regardless of which division FC Schalke starts in the summer. The 24-year-old is also under contract with the Knappen until 2024.
