Hakan Çalhanoğlu back on Fenerbahçe's radar

Inter's Türkiye international Hakan Çalhanoğlu is reported to be among Fenerbahçe's targets for the January transfer window. The Istanbul club's board is said to be planning to open formal contact in January in a bid to sign the experienced midfielder.

The future of the 32-year-old star, whose contract with the Italian club runs until 2027, is among the most talked-about subjects in the transfer market. Fenerbahçe, who are said to want to strengthen their squad with a quality player who counts as home-grown under Süper Lig squad rules, could reportedly commit every resource at their disposal to the move if the right conditions fall into place.

Inter's board, meanwhile, is also said to be keeping the possibility of talks over a new contract with the experienced midfielder on the table. The situation of the Türkiye international, who earns around €6.5m a year under his current deal, is expected to become clearer in the coming weeks.

Çalhanoğlu, who joined Inter from Milan on a free transfer in the summer of 2021 and went on to celebrate a league title there, continues to play a key role at the heart of the team this season.
