Pedulla Predicts: ‘Inter Milan Will Sell Hakan Calhanoglu, Ederson The Top Target To Replace Him’ | OneFootball

Alfredo Pedulla predicts that Inter Milan will sell Hakan Calhanoglu, whilst Atalanta’s Ederson is the top target to replace him.

The SportItalia transfer market expert gave his prediction on the Turkish international’s future on his YouTube channel. He also added that Nicolo Rovella and an unnamed player from outside of Italy are other targets for Inter.

Hakan Calhanoglu has been at the centre of a whirlpool of transfer rumours in recent weeks.

Reportedly, Galatasaray are keen to sign the 31-year-old. And they have also already approached the player himself, getting his green light.

However, Galatasaray have yet to make an offer for Calhanoglu. And they look very reluctant to get close to Inter’s asking price of €30 million for the former AC Milan midfielder.

Meanwhile, Inter captain Lautaro Martinez all but called out Calhanoglu over the rumours. He declared in comments after Inter’s Club World Cup loss to Fluminense that “whoever wants to leave, leave.”

SportItalia transfer market expert Alfredo Pedulla predicted that “for me, Calhanoglu’s situation is a torment, and it has to end with a sale.”

“Otherwise, it will ruin Inter’s whole season. After what’s happened, I don’t think they can go on together.”

“But there is an absolutely huge but here,” he added. “Namely, Inter’s valuation of the player.”

“They have to figure it out. Otherwise, things will erupt in February.”

As far as the top target to replace Calhanoglu, Pedulla stated that “Inter’s main target is Ederson.”

“But the only problem is that he’d cost €60 million. And I don’t think that Atalanta will be offering any discounts just because of their good relationship with Inter.”

Meanwhile, Pedulla added that “there’s also Rovella, and a player from abroad on Inter’s shortlist if Calhanoglu leaves.”

“But let me remind you: Lazio turned down an offer of €30-35 million plus Asllani on loan with a purchase option that would become an obligation.”
