Hakan Calhanoglu (32 years old) will enter the last season of the agreement with Inter in the summer, but he would no longer stay with Cristi Chivu's team. The press in Istanbul learned that the Turkish midfielder will transfer to Galatasaray: “Only one percent is missing to leave Serie A, that is, his signature on the contract.”
Two crosses from Hakan Calhanoglu were decisive in the second half of the match in Como for Inter to secure victory (4-3). The Turkish midfielder reached nine assists, in addition to four goals, with which he contributed in 21 matches in this championship.

Chivu's manager has had a troubled season, prefaced by the long-distance conflict with Lautaro Martinez before the Club World Cup sparked by rumors of a transfer to Galatasaray, but the new Romanian coach has reconciled the Turk with the Nerazzurri captain. Three injuries followed and further doubts about his stay on the 'Meazza'.
And with talks to renew his contract due on June 30, 2027 yet to take shape, rumors of his split with the authoritarian Serie A leader have returned to the fore.

“Inter can no longer support Calhanoglu's current salary of 6.5 million € net yearly, wanting a renewal for less money”
Manager and analyst Taner Karaman made a transfer prediction for ASpor TV: “There is a 99% chance that Hakan Calhanoglu to wear the shirt of Galatasaray next season. That one percent difference is only because the player hasn't signed yet, but has given his word.”
Sportmediaset confirms the theory: “It seems that Hakan Calhanoglu is on the verge of leaving Inter, and Galatasaray are ready to complete the deal to bring the player home from next season.
There is currently a financial dispute over the extension of his contract, which expires in 2027. The Nerazzurri do not intend to pay his current salary of 6.5 million euros net per year, proposing a renewal with less money”.
