Report – Inter Milan Set Hakan Calhanoglu Asking Price As Key Step Toward Securing Suitable Replacement
Report – Inter Milan Set Hakan Calhanoglu Asking Price As Key Step Toward Securing Suitable Replacement Inter Milan are reluctant to let Hakan Calhanoglu join Galatasaray and will only do that on their own terms. Per Tuttosport via FCInterNews, it will take around €25 million to persuade the Nerazzurri to give the green light. Advertisement Galatasaray's interest in Hakan Calhanoglu is genuine. Furthermore, the 31-year-old seems inclined to accept the Turkish heavyweights' contract proposal. Indeed, Okan Buruk's charges are willing to offer him a substantial pay rise to convince him to return to Turkey. Calhanoglu earns around €6.5m net per season at the San Siro. However, his wages would hit a €10m landmark at Rams Park.

Indeed, relying on the player's will to join, they'd put forward a meager €15m bid. Advertisement Yet, that's well short of Inter's demands. With the ex-AC Milan midfielder ready to pack his bags, Beppe Marotta is scouring the market for replacements. Lazio's Nicolo Rovella tops Marotta's shortlist. Meanwhile, Atalanta's Ederson and Torino's Samuele Ricci are other profiles carefully examined by the Nerazzurri chief. However, they all command significant price tags. Therefore, Inter won't let Calhanoglu leave without a suitable financial return.
