Indeed, Hakan Calhanoglu could end his four-year association with the Nerazzurri in the coming weeks.
Despite turning down Bayern Munich last year, the 31-year-old could leave the San Siro this summer.
Meanwhile, Galatasaray have prepared a massive contract offer to tempt him to move to Istanbul.

Although Inter would reluctantly offload the ex-AC Milan midfielder, he won't go cheap.
Instead, any interested club would need to table a bid in the region of €40 million to get Inter's go-ahead.
That's a price tag that could blow Galatasaray out of the water.

However, Inter cannot afford to lose Calhanoglu for peanuts, knowing any potential replacement would cost a fortune.
Indeed, Lazio's Nicolo Rovella is the leading candidate to fill the gap.
Yet, there's a substantial €50m release clause in play.
Moreover, Torino star Samuele Ricci commands a significant price tag, not to mention fierce competition from other Serie A clubs.

Report – Inter Milan Will Have To Spend €50M To Replace Hakan Calhanoglu
Report – Inter Milan Will Have To Spend €50M To Replace Hakan Calhanoglu Inter Milan will reportedly have to spend at least €50 million if they are to replace midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu this summer. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Corriere della Sera, via FCInterNews. They note that that would be the fee for either Nicolo Rovella or Ederson. Advertisement 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.

(Photo by) As the Corriere della Sera note, if Hakan Calhanoglu were to leave, a replacement wouldn't come cheap. Inter would have to target a player suitable to replace the Turkish international. And Calhanoglu is a player who has been absolutely pivotal for them for several years. Advertisement One possibility would be Lazio midfielder Nicolo Rovella. And the Biancocelesti are unlikely to allow the 23-year-old to leave for anything less than his €50 million release clause. Meanwhile, Atalanta's Ederson is another player on Inter's radar to replace Calhanoglu should the Turk depart. And €50 million is also around the fee that the 25-year-old would likely command. Atalanta will ask for €60 million to begin negotiations.

Report – Inter Milan Yet To Convince Man United On Loan Deal For Denmark Star
Report – Inter Milan Yet To Convince Man United On Loan Deal For Denmark Star Inter Milan have yet to convince Man United to allow striker Rasmus Hojlund to join them on an initial loan deal. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Inter Milan have identified Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund as a top target in attack this summer. The Nerazzurri are already right on the verge of a deal for Parma striker Ange-Yoan Bonny. However, they are not going to stop with the Frenchman. Hojlund is a player Inter continue to rate highly in spite of two underwhelming seasons with United. And at 22 years old, he is well within their age profile. Inter Milan Yet To Convince Man United To Loan Our Rasmus Hojlund MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – MARCH 13: Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United during the UEFA Europa League 2024/25 Round of 16 Second Leg match between Manchester United and Real Sociedad de Futbol at Old Trafford on March 13, 2025 in Manchester, England. (Photo by) A key factor in Inter's efforts to sign Rasmus Hojlund is their attempt to secure an initial loan deal. Even after his two tough campaigns at Old Trafford, Manchester United will want a high fee for Hojlund. Advertisement Therefore, Inter are hoping to sign the Dane on an initial loan deal. This could contain a purchase option, or an obligation to sign the player permanently under certain conditions. The Nerazzurri have been working to wear United down on the loan idea in negotiations. However, so far, the Red Devils have not yet opened up to the idea of loaning out Hojlund. Their intention is to sell the Danish international outright this summer.

Antonio Conte Reveals Message To Napoli Squad After 1-1 Serie A Draw Vs Inter Milan: ‘For The First Time, I Said It'
Antonio Conte Reveals Message To Napoli Squad After 1-1 Serie A Draw Vs Inter Milan: 'For The First Time, I Said It' Antonio Conte says that he finally gave his Serie A title message to the Napoli squad after their 1-1 draw with Inter Milan in March. The coach spoke to Italian outlet Sette, via FCInterNews. He recalled how that was the match where he was convinced that his team could dream of the title. Advertisement Napoli beat Inter Milan to the Serie A title in the season just gone. They did so on the final day of the season, by just a point. It was a campaign in which the Partenopei had the advantage in the title race for the majority of the time. However, it was also a season that saw Inter push Napoli all the way. They had chances to overtake the Partenopei right until the end, but failed to take advantage of them. Antonio Conte Reveals Serie A Title Message To Napoli After 1-1 Draw Vs Inter BERGAMO, ITALY – JANUARY 18: SSC Napoli coach Antonio Conte looks on before the Serie A match between Atalanta BC and SSC Napoli at Gewiss Stadium on January 18, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) Napoli were able to establish a lead for themselves in the table relatively early on in the season. However, there was always a sense that this advantage was relatively precarious. Even with Inter's regular slip-ups in the league. Advertisement Wins over teams like AC Milan, Roma, Atalanta, and Juventus certainly gave Napoli more credibility in the title race. However, it was the head-to-head matches against Inter that really set the tone in the title race. In November, Inter hosted Napoli at the San Siro. The Nerazzurri were perhaps the better side then and unlucky to draw 1-1. But in Naples in March it was a much different story. Inter took the lead in the first half, but Napoli were absolutely dominant in the second half, and deservedly snatched a point late on. Napoli coach Antonio Conte recalled 'the one against Inter' as the match that really made him believe the title was possible. Advertisement 'When we cam behind. And even looked like we could've won it.' 'I said it publicly for the first time after that,' said Conte. 'If we want it, we can do it.' 'That was a message for my players,' the Napoli coach continued. 'I believed in it, and so they had to do so as well.' 'Then in football there's always room for the unlikely. The draw against Genoa seriously risked compromising our Scudetto chase.'
