Inter Milan To Sell Ex AC Milan Star In 12 Months – But Could Galatasaray Return With An Improved Offer This Summer? | OneFootball

Inter Milan are likely to sell Hakan Calhanoglu next summer, but could even receive an improved bid from Galatasaray this summer.

Today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, don’t rule anything out as far as the 31-year-old’s future.

The transfer saga between Hakan Calhanoglu and Galatasaray appears to have reached an anticlimax.

This week, the Turkish champions made their first offer to Inter. And quite simply, it was nowhere near the Nerazzurri’s asking price.

Therefore, the conditions for a deal just don’t look to be there as things stand.

Inter still see Calhanoglu as a hugely important player for them, and value the Turk accordingly. Therefore, they’re not going to accept any lowball offers from Galatasaray.

As such, Calhanoglu should remain an Inter player for the coming season.

However, in the view of Tuttosport, it seems inevitable that the picture will change in a year’s time.

Calhanoglu is under contract with Inter until the end of June 2027. Therefore, the Nerazzurri have leverage this summer, and aren’t in any dire need to sell the player.

But in twelve months, Inter will be looking at a player who’s one year away from the expiry of his deal.

Therefore, the Nerazzurri will likely be a lot more open to selling Hakan Calhanoglu next summer. They won’t hold out for nearly as high a fee – as it will mean avoiding losing the player for free in 2027.

Therefore, Galatasaray may simply have to play the waiting game if they want to sign Calhanoglu.

On the other hand, though Tuttosport report that it’s not impossible that the Istanbul giants could come in with another offer.

Particularly if Galatasaray are to shuffle their pack financially in the next couple weeks with some sales, then they might very well be in a position to invest more in a deal for Calhanoglu.
