With the contract expiring in June, rumors about the future of Calhanoglu are multiplying and also involve some Italian clubs. Among them, Juventus is closely following the evolution of the situation. Journalist Romano has reconstructed the story on YouTube, adding details about the past and the current scenario.
“A year ago, between January and February, there had been some contacts with Juventus — which at the time had a different management — who tried to understand Calhanoglu’s situation,” Romano explained. “Inter and Calha then decided to continue together: I confirm 100% that Juventus had called, but they never made any offers to either Inter or the player. In the summer, the real threat was Fenerbahce.”
As for the present, Romano outlined a scenario in which the Turk remains oriented towards staying: “At least for now, Calhanoglu is prioritizing Inter. The club has promised the player and his agents that they want to discuss a renewal, with a formula including more bonuses and a slightly lower fixed salary. Calhanoglu’s mind is on Inter, and the directors have promised him they will sit down at the table and try to find a solution.”
As for the current Juventus, Romano does not rule out future interest: “Today’s Juventus is different, but a player like Calhanoglu can always be of interest, especially on a free transfer. The Bianconeri lack a key player in the middle, a leader. Any further moves by Juventus will have to be checked later.”
Romano then added an update on Carlos Augusto: Inter wants the signatures before Christmas. “Within 40 days they want to exchange the documents: the agreement is close to being finalized,” concluded the journalist.
