The situation of Hakan Calhanoglu is still up in the air at Inter Milan even after the failed first approach of Galatasaray.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri are still anticipating a possible return by the Turkish club.

Inter Milan were kept in suspense for weeks regarding the future of Hakan Calhanoglu.

The interest of Galatasaray in signing the 31-year-old was hardly a secret.

However, it was only in the past week that the Turkish champions have actually come forward with a bid.

And as it turns out, Galatasaray’s offer was quite an anticlimactic one. They only bid around €15 million – miles away from Inter’s valuation of Calhanoglu.

Hakan Calhanoglu Situation Still Up In The Air At Inter Milan

Therefore, for now, Inter Milan are not expecting Hakan Calhanoglu to leave this summer.

The Nerazzurri are ready to reintegrate the former AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder into the squad for their preseason preparations – despite the rift that the transfer rumours caused.

Nevertheless, the Gazzetta report, it’s not over until it’s over.

Inter would still likely be willing to sell Calhanoglu for a fee of around €25-30 million if any serious negotiations begin.

And if Galatasaray’s efforts to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli once and for all fall through, then the situation could change rapidly.

Therefore, Inter are not treating Calhanoglu as off the market just yet. They’ll still have to wait a few more weeks for certainty regarding the midfielder’s future.
