Talks between Inter Milan and Fenerbahce for Hakan Calhanoglu are gaining momentum as the midfielder’s exit looms.
According to Turkish journalist Taylan Sedef via FCInterNews, the club chiefs will soon have a video chat to discuss the transfer.
Fenerbahce’s interest in Hakan Calhanoglu is developing rapidly.
Despite only recently joining bitter rivals Galatasaray in the race for the 31-year-old, they’re already in the front seat.
Indeed, they’ve quickly leapfrogged the Rams Park outfit and could soon seal the deal with Inter.
Inter Milan & Fenerbahce Set for Video Call to Discuss Hakan Calhanoglu Transfer
Unlike Galatasaray, Fenerbahce are willing to negotiate the player’s price tag.
While the reigning Super Lig holders refused to meet Inter’s demands, Jose Mourinho’s side could at least come close.
Indeed, Inter’s €35 million asking price is well-documented.
However, there’s a feeling that the Nerazzurri would sanction the Turk’s departure for €25m.
Beppe Marotta and Ali Koc will discuss terms over the phone later this evening.
Meanwhile, Fenerbahce will offer Calhanoglu around €6m net per season as well as the captain’s armband.
On the other hand, Inter must return to the market for a top-class replacement, with Ederson still a dream signing.
