Romano in Inter's sights for the future after Calhanoglu

Hakan Çalhanoğlu is working to recover from his injury and be available for the match against Parma on October 10. In the meantime, the Nerazzurri club is reflecting on his future. According to Tuttosport, this first stoppage of the season is a warning sign after ten injuries suffered in the last two years: none particularly serious, but last season the Turk missed almost 90 days, a significant figure for a key player in the team.

The esteem for the midfielder remains unchanged, but negotiations for a contract renewal have not yet started. Although there is no intention to part ways, and despite the player never giving weight to rumors coming from Turkey, Baccin still has to evaluate possible alternatives. Among the profiles being monitored is Alessandro Romano, a midfielder born in 2006 who has been called up by Roberto Mancini for the national team. The sporting director recently stated that it is premature to mention names, but the interest in the youngster is concrete.

Juventus is also closely following the same player, with the risk of sparking a Derby d’Italia on the transfer market. Meanwhile, in the squad, Inter already has Aleksandar Stankovic, who has so far been used sparingly.
