Report – Galatasaray Still Keen On Inter Milan Star With Turkish Transfer Window Not Closed Yet | OneFootball

Galatasaray are reportedly still keen to sign Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, with the Turkish transfer window not yet having closed.

This according to German broadcaster Sky Sports Deutschland, via FCInterNews.

Turkish champions Galatasaray spent several weeks chasing Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu this summer.

However, the Istanbul giants never managed to make an offer that convinced Inter.

In the meantime, though, the transfer rumours were rampant. Furthermore, they made some waves in the Inter squad.

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez all but called Calhanoglu out.

Speaking frankly after Inter’s Club World Cup exit against Fluminense, the Argentine implored “whoever wants to leave, leave.”

Then, the following day Calhanoglu responded to Martinez’s comments with a social media post of his own. He not-so-subtly commented that “respect is a two-way street.”
