Hasan Kurucay Schalke transfer saga

Entities: Schalke 04 · Kilian Jakob · Hasan Kurucay · David Otto · Viktoria Köln

Overview

In early July, Schalke 04 reported that defender Hasan Kurucay was coping with an injury, but details were scarce. By the end of the month the focus shifted to his future: Viktoria Köln added Kilian Jakob to its defence, and Turkish Süper Lig side İstanbul Başakşehir entered talks with Schalke about a possible transfer for the 28‑year‑old, whose contract runs until June 2027.

Late July reports confirmed that formal negotiations between Schalke and Başakşehir were under way, though the German club had not announced any agreement. Coach Miron Muslic still regards Kurucay as a key centre‑back, while the club’s financial pressure is prompting consideration of a sale. No release clause exists in his contract, and a move remains uncertain.
