The future of Hakan Çalhanoğlu is starting to move away from Inter Milan. At 31 years old, the Turkish midfielder could be experiencing his last months as a 'nerazzurro' player, as movements from Saudi Arabia are intensifying to secure his services. Specifically, Al-Hilal has reportedly received an explicit request from Simone Inzaghi to incorporate the player who was the linchpin of Inter during his coaching tenure in Italy.

Inzaghi perfectly understands Çalhanoğlu's performance and importance within a team's tactics. Under his guidance, the Turkish player became the main playmaker of the Milanese squad, crucial in both distribution and tempo control. Therefore, now that he manages Al-Hilal, he does not want to miss the opportunity to add him to his new project in the Saudi Pro League.

Inter opens up to negotiation

Çalhanoğlu's contract runs until 2027, but the Saudi interest is strong and financially substantial, prompting Inter to consider an operation that would result in a significant income, as indicated by MundoDeportivo. It is worth noting that Inter signed him at no cost from Milan, so any sale would mean a notable financial gain.

Furthermore, this departure would allow the Italians to initiate a midfield renewal process. Nicolò Rovella, a young talent from Lazio, is on the list as a potential replacement, marking the beginning of a new era in Inter's midfield.
