Calhanoglu Contract Talks With Inter Remain Unresolved, Says Report

Hakan Calhanoglu's contract is the only one expiring at Inter, with his current deal running to 30 June 2027, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. The report says no formal proposal has yet been made by either side, and that if no renewal arrives the Turkish midfielder would be free to join another club on a Bosman from 1 July.

Calhanoglu, speaking after the league win over Como, said he was calm about the situation: "I am calm, I do my job, I love my teammates. I have been here five years, we have won a lot together, we are all calm and we will see. There is no need to make a fuss, everyone stay calm." The report states Inter intend to lower the current figures; Calhanoglu earns around €6 million net per season, and the club has concerns over his recent injury record, including an adductor problem this year and recurring calf and muscle issues last season.

The report adds that Calhanoglu turns 33 next February and that no player in the squad can set the tempo in midfield as he does. It names Stankovic as the natural deputy but notes he has been used sparingly and needs time to adapt to the regista role. The report also says Turkish clubs including Galatasaray and Fenerbahce have been periodically linked, that Como coach Cesc Fabregas has expressed admiration for him, and that Juventus is often mentioned, while Calhanoglu would be interested in playing in the Turkish Super Lig for the first time.
