Calhanoglu-Fenerbahçe, the Nerazzurri deny official contacts

According to Corriere della Sera, Inter has firmly denied the rumors about official contacts with Fenerbahçe for the transfer of Hakan Calhanoglu. Turkish media are once again strongly pushing the hypothesis of a return of the 32-year-old midfielder to his homeland, claiming that the Istanbul club has even started formal negotiations with the Nerazzurri. The player is also said to have given his approval to the deal.

The Milanese club, however, denies any kind of approach for number 20. Despite their clear stance, it is reasonable to expect that rumors coming from Turkey will continue until the end of the summer transfer window, fueling a recurring theme every summer. The gap between what is reported by the Turkish newspapers and the Nerazzurri management’s position remains evident.

The Turkish midfielder continues to be a central element in the technical setup and, barring sensational surprises, the speculations from the Middle Eastern part of Europe will remain just that.
