Fenerbahce on Calhanoglu, from Turkey: the player would be open

From Turkey, rumors about Hakan Çalhanoğlu are once again circulating. Fenerbahce is reportedly closely evaluating the situation of the Nerazzurri midfielder, whose contract with Inter expires in June 2027 and has not yet been renewed.

According to Fotomac, the Istanbul club added the 32-year-old to its radar during their trip to Italy to negotiate for Rafael Leão from Milan. The Turkish national team playmaker, according to rumors, would look favorably on a return to his homeland and would not rule out the prospect of wearing the yellow and blue jersey.

The Fenerbahce management is called upon to strengthen the contingent of Turkish players in the squad. In fact, starting next season, a new rule will come into effect limiting the number of foreign players that can be registered to 10+4, making it necessary to focus on high-level local players.

The Çalhanoğlu option therefore remains on the table. In the past, Hakan Safi – a candidate for the club presidency during the election campaign – had already included the midfielder on his list of targets, receiving openness from the player for a possible transfer. Coach İsmail Kartal will now have to give his opinion on the deal with a dedicated technical report.
