Inter Milan Must Rely On Turkey Star Against Juventus After Summer Of Drama & Speculation

Inter Milan will look to Hakan Calhanoglu to inspire them to victory over Juventus, after a summer of speculation and chaos surrounding the Turkish midfielder.

As written in today’s edition of the Gazzetta dello Sport, via FcInter1908, Calhanoglu may find additional motivation through Juventus star and compatriot Kenan Yildiz.

This is partly because Yildiz is one of the talents in Serie A.

The winger is currently dwarfing Calhanoglu in terms of performance.

Both players were involved for their national side in last Sunday’s embarrassing 6-0 defeat to Spain.

Inter Milan Need Calhanoglu Firing On All Cylinders Against Juventus

Calhanoglu has been a talismanic part of the Inter team for several years now.

The experienced midfielder is a leader on the pitch and has stepped up decisively for the Nerazzurri in recent seasons.

However, Inter need Calhanoglu back firing on all cylinders.

Controversy marred the summer for the Turkey international.

Turkish Super Lig sides Fenerbahce and Galatasaray heavily linked with a move for the former Leverkusen man.

He also had a (albeit now-repaired) falling out with Lautaro Martinez, after comments from the Argentine blew up in the media following Inter’s Club World Cup exit.
