Galatasaray has never hidden its interest in Hakan Çalhanoğlu and in a recent interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, the club’s vice-president, Abdullah Kavukcu, confirmed the attempt made during the winter transfer window and clarified the club’s intentions regarding the player.
The executive hinted that the club will continue to closely follow the midfielder and that a future move to Turkey is not out of the question, when circumstances allow. Here are his statements:
“Yes, we made another attempt for Calhanoglu. There was a discussion with Inter’s executives, but we were told that Hakan would not leave during the winter transfer window.” Inter therefore refused the transfer in the last transfer window.
“We have never hidden our interest. Hakan is an icon of the Turkish national team and is a Galatasaray fan. I don’t know when, but I am sure that one day we will see him play for us.”
