Inter Milan President Adamant Turkey Midfielder 'Is Ours' Amid Persistent Galatasaray Speculation

Asked whether there’s any news on Calhanoglu, Marotta replied: “No, he’s fully our player, so he’ll be back as soon as he’s called up.”

Then, he discussed Inter’s interest in Parma starlet Giovanni Leoni.

Wanted by Inter and Liverpool, Leoni is among Europe’s most highly-rated talents, hence a massive €40m price tag.

“He’s a good talent, but he belongs to Parma, not us,” Marotta stated.

In addition to several incoming deals, Inter are working on multiple departures.

Valentin Carboni is reportedly on the verge of joining Genoa on a season-long loan without a buyout option.

“Yes, the destination is right, with a great coach like Vieira,” Marotta confirmed.

Like Carboni, Sebastiano Esposito is on his way out.

However, the 23-year-old striker could quit the club permanently, with Fiorentina and Cagliari in the mix.

“We’ll see, we’ll see, soon, very soon,” Marotta was clear.

Finally, the Inter chief offered his verdict on Inter’s immediate future.

“Maximum optimism, absolutely,” he claimed. “We are Inter, so we must always look to the future with great optimism.”
