Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu remains confident Hakan Calhanoglu will stay at San Siro despite growing interest from Galatasaray.

Per Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, optimism is growing around the San Siro camp despite ongoing talks with the Turks.

Hakan Calhanoglu has been the subject of intense interest from the Rams Park outfit since the start of the summer.

However, Galatasaray’s reluctance to meet Inter’s valuation could ultimately scupper the deal.

Indeed, Inter’s €30 million asking price has kept the reigning Super Lig holders at arm’s length.

Despite Inter’s stubborn stance, the Turkish giants are unwilling to offer more than €15m for the 31-year-old.

Instead, they rely on the player’s alleged desire to move to Istanbul, expecting he’ll put the pressure on the Nerazzurri.

With no such indication from the player so far, negotiations remain at a standstill, leaving Galatasaray increasingly frustrated.

Meanwhile, Cristian Chivu remains optimistic, hoping to have the ex-AC Milan star at his disposal next season.
