Calhanoglu, Inter made a promise for the renewal: Juve stopped at inquiries

Juventus had made some exploratory calls for Calhanoglu between January and February, during a period when Damien Comolli was still active, but the interest did not go beyond the inquiry stage: no written offer was delivered to either Inter or the player.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the only real alternative that had caused some concern within the Nerazzurri camp was Fenerbahçe, a club where the Turkish midfielder had become a central figure in the election campaign. Even in that case, however, the negotiation never took concrete shape.

The Turkish midfielder has made his priorities clear: renewing with Inter comes before any other option. For its part, the Nerazzurri club has guaranteed the player and his representatives a new negotiation table to reach an agreement, focusing on contract formulas that can keep his salary at competitive levels. The contract expires in June.

The club has set another goal by the end of the year: to finalize the renewal of Carlos Augusto before the Christmas holidays.
