bloomshorts Hakan Calhanoglu’s Transfer Saga Takes a New Turn
With Hakan Calhanoglu, it’s a different story every day. Yesterday, Inter Milan sporting director Piero Ausilio closed the door on a transfer, emphasizing how important the midfielder is for the present and the future. But now, as per sources, we’ve moved from Calhanoglu being a target for Galatasaray to… Fenerbahce, and perhaps Calhanoglu himself would do well to speak out on his future and clarify things, as the situation is almost becoming a farce.
Confirmation of Interest
Confirmation of the rumours coming out of Turkey last night has been confirmed by sources; it’s true that Jose Mourinho and Fenerbahce are showing a strong interest in signing Calhanoglu.
Inter’s Stance
As for Inter, the understanding is that they have always had a baseline asking price of €30 million for the Turkey international to avoid selling off a specialist who arrived on a free transfer.
What’s Next?
We’ll see how things develop, but it’s time to make a definitive decision. One way or another.
Calhanoglu’s Career Highlights
Calhanoglu has had a fine career in Serie A, having first made the move to Italy with AC Milan back in the summer of 2017. The 31-year-old spent four seasons at the San Siro, before then making the controversial move to their rivals Inter on a free. Calhanoglu has continued to shine with the Nerazzuri, winning the title in 2023/24, and helping the club reach two Champions League finals, though both ended in defeat.
