Hakan Calhanoglu is inching ever closer toward swapping Inter Milan for Galatasaray as the long-running saga gets up a head of steam.
Per Turkish journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu via FCInterNews, the reigning Super Lig champions have made contact with the Nerazzurri today.
Galatasaray don’t want to waste time anymore as they seem determined to lure the 31-year-old back to his homeland.
Therefore, they’ve contacted Inter to request the midfielder’s transfer and get an understanding of the Italians’ stance.
After weeks of speculation, the Rams Park outfit finally look ready to negotiate Calhanoglu’s arrival.
Galatasaray & Inter Milan Open Talks for Hakan Calhanoglu
It’s no secret that Galatasaray are ready to cover Hakan Calhanoglu in gold.
Indeed, they’re willing to drastically increase his salary to convince him to move to Istanbul.
However, they’re not as open to splashing out huge figures on a transfer fee.
Meanwhile, Inter won’t let the ex-AC Milan star leave for less than €35 million.
As for Galatasaray, they’re unwilling to exceed the €15m mark.
With the player’s consent, they should be in a decent bargaining position, even though Inter won’t budge on their asking price.
After all, they’ll need money to sign Ederson to replace the Turk.
Be sad to see him go but just watch us get shafted with the fee, again. We seem to pay over the odds for players then undersell to others.
they are turkish bastards, they tried to pay for osimieh, but suddenly they dont have enough for hakan, so if they dont pay , sell him to saudi for 40mlns and move on, start a new chapter!
All drama aside, Hakan has been an integral part of this team. As a fan, I’ve only ever seen him give 100% on the field.
If he wants to spend his last few years at home, that’s great. But he has a contract and we cannot sell him for less than he’s worth just because his feelings have changed. No team can be expected to give such discounts.
We thank him for what he did and we should expect him more coz he didnt have loyalty. Thats why he move to inter in the first place.
Shouldn’t, yes what inzaghi and hakan did to inter are the reason why they come to us. They follow the money and its not a bad things.
Look at his age.
