According to Sporx, Galatasaray have made approaches to Calhanoglu personally.

Despite denials from the club’s President, the Turkish champions have made their interest clear. And Sporx report that Calhanoglu himself is very amenable to the move.

The 31-year-old has yet to take the interest straight to Inter.

However, Sporx report, Galatasaray are expecting Calhanoglu to do so.

Inter would expect a fee of at least €25 million, according to Sporx. Meanwhile, Italian sources report that Nerazzurri’s asking price at €40 million.

According to Sporx, Galatasaray are hoping to not to pay more than €20 million.

The Turkish club’s hope is that if Calhanoglu makes clear to Inter that he wants the transfer, they will lower their demands.
