The rumors circulating in recent hours regarding the offers that have arrived for Hakan Calhanoglu have been confirmed. According to information obtained exclusively by our editorial staff, the Turkish playmaker has a proposal on the table from Saudi Arabia, with a call that came directly to the player’s entourage.
However, Galatasaray is also taking things seriously and has been working on this front for at least ten days. The Istanbul club has significant financial resources and has already officially signed Sané from Bayern Munich in this transfer window. The agents are working on this deal, and in Turkey, there is confidence that the Inter player has opened up to the idea.
Calhanoglu has in fact never denied being a fan and having dreamed of joining Galatasaray during his career, but he does not want to put Inter in a difficult position and, as has already happened in the past, he is leaving everything in the hands of the Nerazzurri club, which will therefore have to decide what to do about the future of its number 20.
Inter has given an initial response to Galatasaray, asking for around 50 million euros, but according to the Istanbul club, this is a price that is too high. They have called it “crazy”—according to reports from Turkey—and have already made the player an offer with a higher salary than what he currently earns with the Nerazzurri.
In the meantime, Inter is considering potential replacements for Calhanoglu, with the options of Rovella from Lazio and Bernabé from Parma still in play, although the former is too expensive at this stage of the transfer market. It’s also possible that Chivu and the management might instead choose to focus on a profile with greater physical strength.
