Inter Not Yet Out of the Woods Regarding Calhanoglu | OneFootball

Inter have repelled Galatasaray for Hakan Calhanoglu, but he’s now being targeted by Fenerbahce, which might offer as much as the Nerazzurri request to do business.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Turk never asked the management to be sold despite all the buzz. They’ll have a face-to-face meeting with him soon. They are about to start their pre-season preparation. The summit should clarify his position.

Inter demand €20/25M to sell Calhanoglu, and Fenerbahce might get there if they found an opening. The veteran would get a richer contract if he transferred.

The Nerazzurri believe it’s much ado about nothing. In the meantime, they are the latest Italian team to take an interest in Granit Xhaka, who’s looking to leave Bayer Leverkusen. He was close to Saudi team Neom SC last week, and Sunderland are in the mix too. However, Die Aspirin want a worthy sum to let their mainstay depart.

According to Turkish publication Now Spor, Galatasaray might make another attempt after wrapping up the Osimhen deal. The 31-year-old is getting some backlash online because of the links to their rivals.

Our Take on Inter and Calhanoglu

They’ll bring in another midfielder if he leaves, but the situation is somewhat related to their Ademola Lookman pursuit, considering they also told Kristjan Asllani to find a new team. Without both, the transition to 3-4-2-1 or something similar would be easier, while their other pieces, barring Davide Frattesi, who’d play as a no.10, would be fine in a two-man line. Still, if the whole premise about his move to Galatasaray was his fandom, it’d be hypocritical of him to go to their nemesis.
