Inter is dealing with the Calhanoglu case. Beyond the classic superficial denials, the agent of the Turkish midfielder Gordon Stipic has been flirting with Bayern Munich for days. A move that caught the Nerazzurri club off guard, as they considered and still consider the director untransferable. The Bavarians would guarantee the Nerazzurri metronome a four-year contract worth 8 million net per season plus bonuses. In Milan Calha earns 6 and his contract expires in three years. This is why the representatives of the former Milan have let Marotta and Ausilio know that they expect the extension (with relative salary adjustment) until 2028 to remain. A scenario that at the moment in Viale della Liberazione they do not seem willing to contemplate. On the other hand, the super renewal granted to captain Lautaro (five-year contract of 9 million net per year plus bonuses) has whetted the appetites of the Calha clan.
Inter say that the Turk is worth at least 60-70 million. Yesterday evening, the Nerazzurri number 20 himself wanted to clarify his future through his social channels: «I am extremely happy at Inter. The relationship I share with the club and our incredible fans is truly special. I am thrilled to be able to win even more trophies with Inter in the future.”
Staying on the topic of midfielders: after the Douglas Luiz injury (medical visits on Thursday) Juve also wants to grab Khephren Thuram. The Frenchman has decided not to renew with Nice (it expires in 2025). A move which, inevitably, is causing the price to drop. So much so that Giuntoli is trying to sign him for just 15 million plus bonuses. A contract until 2029 is ready for the brother of the Inter number 9. Milan is also looking to Ligue1 for the midfielder: the first choice is still Fofana from Monaco, for whom there is competition from a couple of English clubs to beat. As for the right-back role, the Devil remains pressing for Tottenham’s Emerson Royal.
Finally, yesterday there was gray smoke between Aurelio De Laurentiis and Giovanni Di Lorenzo’s agent (Mario Giuffredi): a summit lasting over 4 hours wasn’t enough to change the full-back’s mind about leaving Napoli to go to Juve.
