Al-Nassr have reportedly sounded out a move with the entourage of Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu.

This according to Italian broadcaster SportItalia, via FCInterNews.

Galatasaray had reportedly been keen to sign the 31-year-old former AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder.

However, the Gazzetta report that the Istanbul giants did not even make Inter an official offer.

A deal for Calhanoglu would simply have been out of reach financially for Galatasaray.

For one thing, the Turkish international was insisting on a wage increase from the €7.5 million net per season plus add-ons he earns at Inter. And he wanted at least a three-year deal.

Then, convincing Inter with an offer would have been no mean feat.

Reports indicate that Inter would want a fee in the region of €35-40 million for Calhanoglu.

According to Italian broadcaster SportItalia, Calhanoglu has become a target for a big club in Saudi Arabia, however.

Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr have already signed one holding midfielder in the form of Marcelo Brozovic.

They signed the Croatian international in the summer of 2023.

And according to SportItalia, Al-Hilal have also sounded out the entourage of Calhanoglu.
