Di Marzio on Calhanoglu: Juventus wants him on a free, Inter must find an agreement

Speaking to Sky Sport, the transfer market journalist Di Marzio gave an update on Calhanoglu‘s contract situation and Inter‘s prospects ahead of January.

According to Di Marzio, the winter transfer window is not fertile ground for the Nerazzurri: “The January market is difficult. In fact, the Inter club in recent years has always done little or nothing in January, except perhaps when there were injuries.” The journalist also reported that he asked Marotta before the match with Feyenoord about the possible signing of a fifth striker, receiving a negative response.

The main issue, however, remains the renewal of the Turkish player, whose contract expires in 2027. “Today, renewing Calhanoglu is like buying him again,” Di Marzio emphasized, explaining that Juventus would gladly welcome him on a free transfer. The real risk, therefore, is that the player could follow a familiar path: “Inter, to avoid the Turkish player going from Milan to Inter and then from Inter to Juventus, will have to try to satisfy him.”

On the possible agreement, Di Marzio clarified that Calhanoglu would be willing to sign a two-year contract, but the parties will have to find a financial agreement. “We know that he would accept a two-year contract, but they will have to agree on the figures. Today, that is the number one item on Inter’s agenda.”
