When Kenan Karaman was signed for the 2022/23 Bundesliga season, fans had doubts as to whether the attacker could even assert himself at FC Schalke 04. Around a year and a half later, the Turk has become an integral part of the starting eleven.
Karaman showed an explosion in performance at FC Schalke 04 in the second half of the last relegation season. In the current season of the 2nd Bundesliga he is the best player in head coach Karel Geraerts’ squad. The offensive player could soon fulfill a big dream.
FC Schalke 04: Karaman is irreplaceable
Without Kenan Karaman’s goals and assists, it is hard to imagine where FC Schalke 04 would be in the table this season. Although 14th place is undoubtedly extremely disappointing for the Revierklub, things would probably look even worse without Karaman.

The Turk has 17 games, eight goals and five assists to his name. He missed five games due to a calf injury and a yellow-red suspension. Otherwise, you can always rely on Karaman. As one of the few S04 professionals, he is showing normal form this season.
In addition to staying in the league with Gelsenkirchen, Karaman has another big goal in mind. With his good performances, he hopes to be part of the Turkish national team again soon.
Karaman dreams of Euro 2024
The last time Karaman appeared in the Turkish national jersey was on November 16, 2021 against Montenegro (2-1), when he was allowed to play 21 minutes. It has not been used since then. Last summer he was nominated for the European Championship qualifiers, but was only on the bench against Wales (2-0) and not even in the squad against Latvia (2-3). However, when he continued to show good performances, the FC Schalke 04 professional was injured and was no longer called up for the last international matches.
But now Karaman is fit again, in good shape and is drawing attention to himself. Turkey coach Vincenzo Montella will take a close look at the offensive player’s performance and then decide shortly before the 2024 European Championships in Germany whether Karaman can be there.
More news for you:
Karaman himself has repeatedly emphasized in the past how important the 2024 European Championship is to him. If he continues to shine like this and helps Schalke stay in the league, he can have legitimate hopes.
