The chances of Hakan Çalhanoğlu leaving Inter in the summer are growing stronger. The 31-year-old Turkish midfielder, currently sidelined with an injury, has a contract with the Italian club until June 2027. While Inter remain open to discussions about a possible contract extension, the player is already leaning towards a different path.
In fact, Çalhanoğlu is not keen on renewing his deal with Inter and is unlikely to change his position. His clear wish is to return to Turkey and play for Galatasaray, a move he sees as the next important step of his career. Contacts between the player and the Turkish club have been ongoing for several months, and personal terms are not expected to be an issue.
The key point will be the negotiations between Galatasaray and Inter. However, compared to last summer, Inter are now expected to be more flexible. With Çalhanoğlu’s contract running until 2027, the club does not want to risk losing him for free in the future. For this reason, a summer transfer could represent the best solution for all parties involved.
If no surprises arise, the coming months could be Çalhanoğlu’s final period in the black and blue shirt. His long adventure at Inter seems to be approaching its final chapter, with Turkey ready to welcome him home.
