Club career

Youth career

Gulasi was born in Sydney, Australia, of Turkish descent from his father.[3] Since he was 13 years old, while playing for Sydney Olympic at the time, Gulasi was scouted and handed numerous trials by Schalke 04 after he had impressed the club from a youth tournament in Germany.[3] He was described to be one of the most mercurial and creative players in Australia by the club's scouts.[3][4]

After a year of negotiations,[4] Gulasi signed for Schalke on 1 July 2024 for the under-19s team.[5][6]

Schalke 04

Gulasi signed a professional contract with Schalke 04 on 16 January 2025, lasting until 2028.[7]
