I'm not one to randomly hype a young talent (didnt say anything when he dazzled vs Real in CL last year, didnt have not enough games yet), and even if it would suck to go back to Schalke waters lol, but this kid might soon become too hot of a commodity to not take serious gamble on, before he makes a big name for himself in German footie and makes them forget about Draxler. I was randomly zapping Eurosport recently and seeing him in action was kinda insane what a natural talent he is, just breezes past opponents so friggin effortlessly and was dangerous besides the youthful kinks. Not a starter yet (still 18 or 19?), but stats say 2 starts and 5 subs has 3 goals and couple of assists. Just watching in action just instinctively screamed this kid will become a big hit if he pans out.



For those who didnt see, this is the goal I'm referring to half a year ago (his overall performance was fantastic, more so for an 18 year old):

Is that R Kelly?

Looks good. Probably will go to Bayern or Chelsea.

This kid is already too hot to take a gamble on and EPL clubs already tried to get him and offered around 20m€, but there is no way to get him for such a sum. He was already labeled the next big thing before Draxler left the club. He has just extended his contract a few months ago and Schalke would never ever agree to sell him next summer.

There is no chance to get him in the near future.

Being labled as next big thing or starting to perform as one, as he has off the bench a bit are two different matters tho. But yeah since he is still a teen and very promising, they can decline mid level offers for him til he becomes a key figure or such in best case scenario.

This kid seems like a good prospect but honestly I already know what I want us to do in the summer...
Our team isnt bad despite the results we are currently having!
We only need two signings to become great again 1 great CM 1 great attacker!
Since Verrati`s chances of landing here are slim I`d take someone who isnt really the Verrati type of CM but would excel here IMO - I`m referring to Hamsik!
As for the attack its pretty obvious that unless some real developement being made Dybala isnt the player we want him to be! so Lets go for the current Sanchez - I`m sure we can tempt him to leave Arsenal a non ambitious team in order to join us...
4-3-3 with Marchisio Hamsik Pogba - Sanchez Morata Cuadrado
It will not fix our goalscoring record for attackers but with Sanchez and Cuadrado and the help of Morata I expect us to create non stop!

Nostradamus whats your take on the chances of Leverkusen selling Calhanoglu next summer?
The chances that Leverkusen would agree to sell Calhanoglu next summer r almost non-existent. I think they will categorically rule out to sell him. They have done the same thing with Lars Bender. Arsenal & Co. have already offered 30m+, but they were reluctant to sell. Also Bayern tried before signing Martinez in 2012. They r very stubborn, when it comes to signing the very important players from them and players that belong into that category r Bender, Calhanoglu, Leno and Brandt. Players of them often have a buyout clause e.g. Leno, but Calhanoglu doesnt have one.

If Leverkusen fail to reach CL for the next season and Calhanoglu forcing a move like he did when leaving Hamburg, then nothing is impossible though. In that case an offer of aound 35-40m could be enough to lure him away, but the chances for this to happen r not very realistic. The chances for Juve to get him next summer r tiny.
