The futures of Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu are becoming one of the most intriguing subplots of Inter Milan’s summer, with both players’ situations hinging on their own decisions rather than the club’s intentions.
As noted by L’Interista, Calhanoglu came close to leaving Inter last summer following the Champions League final defeat, with his well-documented fallout with Lautaro Martinez adding further uncertainty.
A move never materialised, but the pull of Galatasaray has not weakened. The Turkish club’s manager and president continue to make public declarations of interest, and Inter’s position is clear, if Calhanoglu asks to leave, they will not stand in his way.
With one year remaining on his contract, any exit would still require an adequate offer.
The club’s preference is to keep him and have him guide Aleksandar Stankovic’s development, but ultimately the decision rests with the player.
Inter Firm Over Barella Demands As Club Gives Him & Calhanoglu Control Over Their Future
Barella’s situation follows a similar logic.
Inter have no desire to sell the Italy midfielder, and with Arsenal among the clubs credited with interest, they will demand around €50 million if he does push for a move.
That figure is non-negotiable, Inter will not let him go cheaply.
However, if Barella genuinely seeks a new challenge, the club would respect his wishes rather than force him to stay against his will.
In both cases, Inter hold firm, but the final word belongs to the players themselves.
barella is less decisive this days, he prefer to make assist than finish the chance. he afraid to take the risk, very different to conte’s time.
everyone that plays on the right looks bad this year just because we don’t have good wingback to finish the moves. That’s why dimarco get double the score he actually deserves. He benefits from Bastoni support, corners and lack of options on the right. Everyone on the left benefits from that. Simone was right to sub him at 60-70 minutes + he is selfish.
Barela is fine and shouldn’t be sold. if he is then 80 mil… but better not
Braindead take
Niko is valued at 60. So he should be 80 by today standarts. Though no offer should ever be enough for our engine. Just because he is not doing one magic after another this season, does not make him a bad player. Niko, dima, sandro, toro…not for sale for any price. But the modern media is rooted in lies and speculations. Trust your gut and ignore those stories
ye, pure bs media.
Yea I mean it does say if the player requests.
Right
Why we low balling all the time. We can sell Barella for 70mil atleast. If anything lower, we should just keep him.
