Turkish giants Galatasaray have not given up on their pursuit of Inter Milan playmaker Hakan Calhanoglu.

According to Sabah via FCInter1908, the Super Lig title holders will submit a new bid for the 31-year-old in January.

Galatasaray genuinely tried to sign Hakan Calhanoglu during the summer transfer window.

However, Inter’s substantial €35 million asking price blew the Rams Park outfit out of the water.

Despite several setbacks in the summer, Okan Buruk’s men are reluctant to give up.

Despite refusing to comment until it was already over, Calhanoglu always looked enthusiastic about moving to Istanbul.

Indeed, his agent even met with Galatasaray and Fenerbahce to discuss his client’s return to his homeland.

Yet, both clubs needed Inter to lower their demands in order to facilitate the transfer.

That was never an option, considering Calhanoglu’s status at San Siro.

However, the Nerazzurri will not keep an unhappy player.

Calhanoglu reportedly wants to leave and is ready to force the club to reduce their request to €10 million.
