Schalke, a club in the second division of the German Bundesliga, is reportedly interested in reacquiring 25-year-old Turkish winger Ahmet Kutucu, who was part of their system from 2011 to 2021. The club has made an offer to Galatasaray, but it is reported that Galatasaray prefers a full sale, which could pose challenges for Schalke due to their current financial constraints. It is understood that Schalke's loan offer is not considered acceptable by Galatasaray, who have attracted interest from more financially stable clubs, including Shakhtar. Kutucu is expected to have limited playing time at Galatasaray this season, a factor that might ease his potential move. Sources indicate that Shakhtar's head coach, Arda Turan, has shown a strong interest in signing Kutucu, having included him on a list of five players he aims to recruit for his squad. Kutucu's contract with Galatasaray is valid until June 30, 2028, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €5 million.
