Inter Milan will not let Hakan Calhanoglu join Galatasaray unless the Turkish giants meet their substantial asking price.

Per Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Serie A runners-up are unwilling to budge on their valuation of the star midfielder.

Despite heavy links with a move to Istanbul, Hakan Calhanoglu is under contract at the San Siro.

Therefore, his fate is entirely in Inter’s hands.

With that in mind, the Nerazzurri will dictate the terms of his potential departure.

Calhanoglu’s silence speaks volumes.

Indeed, many understand this as the 31-year-old’s reluctance to go public with his desire to leave.

Meanwhile, Inter seem unfazed by the Turkey captain’s will.

Though they’re open to selling the ex-AC Milan ace, their €35 million asking price is not susceptible to negotiation.

Nonetheless, Calhanoglu has seemingly lost his teammates’ trust.

For context, Lautaro Martinez recently offered his view of the ongoing saga.

Indeed, he urged everyone who wants to leave to do that after last night’s match against Fluminense.

Needless to say, his statement referred to Calhanoglu above everyone else.
