Inter Milan are bracing for the possibility that Hakan Calhanoglu could leave this summer.
The Nerazzurri know full well that Galatasaray are keen to sign the 31-year-old. And they are just waiting to see if the Turkish champions make an offer.
Therefore, in the meantime, Inter are planning for the possibility of a future without Calhanoglu.
Ederson Tops Inter Shortlist To Replace Calhanoglu – Rovella & Ricci Also Targets

According to Italian broadcaster SportMediaset, Inter's top target to replace Calhanoglu would be Atalanta midfielder Ederson.
The 25-year-old would cost around €40 million, the broadcaster anticipates.

Meanwhile, Inter would face competition from Derby d'Italia rivals Juventus to sign Ederson.
Then, reports Mediaset, there are two Italian internationals on the shortlist behind the Brazilian.
Lazio midfielder Nicolo Rovella is a player Inter see as capable of replacing Calhanoglu. The 23-year-old has a release clause of €50 million in his contract with the Biancocelesti.
Meanwhile, Mediaset anticipate, Torino's Samuele Ricci is another player Inter could target to replace Calhanoglu.
AC Milan had seemingly been close to a deal for Ricci. However, that has not materialized as their interest appears to fade away.

Flamengo scores 3 second-half goals to stun Chelsea 3-1 at the Club World Cup
PHILADELPHIA -- Danilo scored the go-ahead goal in the 65th minute and Flamengo scored three second-half goals to move atop its group at the Club World Cup with a 3-1 victory over Chelsea on Friday. Coupled with Esperance's 1-0 win against LAFC in the later group match, Flamengo became the first team in the field to advance to the knockout round. Flamengo's win also kept South American teams undefeated at the Club World Cup in nine matches. Pedro Neto gave Chelsea the early lead. The ball bounced off a Flamengo defender and Neto gained control, charging toward the goal before putting it away in the 13th minute. Flamengo drew even in the 62nd on Bruno Henrique's goal on a tap-in in front of the goal. Moments later, the Brazilian giants took the lead off a corner with Danilo's goal. Wallace Yan all but put the game out of reach for the Blues with a goal in the 83rd. The Blues, the 2021 Club World Cup winner, defeated LAFC 2-0 in their opening match in Atlanta. Flamengo downed Esperance 2-0 in its opener. Former Chelsea defender Filipe Luís currently coaches Flamengo, while former Chelsea midfielder Jorginho made his debut for Flamengo against Esperance. Down just 2-1, Chelsea still had a chance, but Nicolas Jackson was sent off in the 68th with a straight red just four minutes after replacing Liam Delap, who got his first start for Chelsea after making his debut for the Blues in the tournament opener. The Blues currently sit below Flamengo in Group D and can still advance to the knockout round. The final matches will be played Tuesday with Chelsea facing Esperance in Philadelphia and Flamengo meeting LAFC in Orlando, Florida. Henrique was named the Man of the Match, and said the face that there was a large contingent of red-clad Flamengo fans among the 54,019 at Lincoln Financial Field wasn't lost on him or his teammates in the pivotal second half. 'I noticed that we had the advantage. We had the fans on our side,' Henrique said. 'And that's when we started to pressure.'

Alyssa Thompson can't capitalize on penalty kick in Angel City loss
Brazilian international Lorena stopped a penalty kick and countrywoman Bia Zaneratto scored to keep the Current perfect at home. The victory secured a sixth consecutive win for Kansas City, which remained atop the NWSL standings. The Current (11-2-0) have won all six of their home games. Kansas City hasn't dropped a game at home since a July 2024 loss to Orlando. With the score tied 0-0, Lorena leapt to her right to parry a spot kick by Angel City forward Alyssa Thompson in the 56th minute. The ball was tipped onto the crossbar before bobbling out for a corner kick. It was Lorena's first penalty save and Thompson's first failed conversion in the NWSL. Reigning NWSL MVP Temwa Chawinga broke away on a dribble and had her low shot saved by Angel City goalkeeper Angelina Anderson, only for Zaneratto to scoop up the rebound and the tuck the ball away in the 69th minute. Zaneratto has five goals, tied for the second-most of any Current player behind Chawinga with eight. Angel City (5-5-3) is winless in its last five games, and has secured one tie and two losses since Alex Straus took over as coach three weeks ago.

Chivu hoping Inter Milan 'dominate' opposition at Club World Cup
Inter Milan's Romanian head coach Cristian Chivu said he would like his team to be able to dominate opponents eventually (Pablo PORCIUNCULA) Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu said he wants to forge a team that can dominate opponents ahead of their second Club World Cup clash against Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds on Saturday in Group E. The Italians, runners-up in this year's UEFA Champions League, were held to a surprise 1-1 draw by Mexican outfit Monterrey in their opening game at FIFA's new tournament on Tuesday. Advertisement Chivu, who took over from Simone Inzaghi after the Italian departed for Al-Hilal in the wake of the Champions League final loss to Paris Saint-Germain, said he would like a team that can take control of matches. "I think every coach would love a team that dominates because you need to show your technical ability, you need to show character and personality," explained the former Inter defender. "You need to show that you can dominate the ball, that you can set the tempo, that you can find solutions both when you are moving the ball from side to side and when you're playing a bit more direct. "That's the dream of all coaches, having the game by the scruff of the neck, controlling proceedings." Advertisement Chivu said it would be good if his team could start to show that against Urawa in Seattle, but accepted it might take a bit longer given his recent arrival at the club. "That's what we'd like to do in the near future, maybe even from tomorrow onwards, but even in the near future when we'll have a little bit more time to work on things in a certain way," the Romanian added. rbs/as
