However, the plan has backfired tremendously.
What happened at EURO 2020?
Turkey crashed out of Group A after losing all three of their games, scoring once while conceding eight goals.
That would’ve been disastrous even if Kabak had been involved. However, Senol Günes didn’t give him a single minute of action.
Now, Schalke 04 have resumed negotiations with those interested in the 20-year-old, in a much worse negotiating position.
