No, Hakan Calhanoglu is not the transfer Inter have in mind. And the proof is what happened a month ago. Because Bayern’s interest in the Turkish midfielder – reported yesterday by Bild – is real, but must be put into context. The timing must be clarified, at least: the German club has actually tested the waters for the director, trying to understand the margins for a possible negotiation both with the player’s agent and with the Nerazzurri club. No official offer, of course, but a concrete expression of interest. Inter’s response was firm, dry: Calha is not for sale, the Nerazzurri have a desire to continue enjoying him at least as much as Bayern would have to bring him to the Bundesliga. And therefore the end even before the beginning, despite the relaunch of the news by the Turkish media. Also because Inter itself has no inkling of a new attack from Monaco.

It won’t be a topic for Inter, in all likelihood. The Argentine is heading towards a transfer: Fiorentina, Atalanta, Lazio and two Premier League clubs are interested in him. So far, no one has started a concrete discussion. However, Inter has set the price: 30 million euros. The desire of the Nerazzurri managers would be to maintain a recompra, but it is not certain (indeed) that they will succeed: a lot will depend on the type of interlocutor. It will certainly also be important to understand how the current America’s Cup will go: in this sense Inter is eagerly awaiting. Because a balance must be found between Oaktree’s request to management to invest in young players – which Inter also does by renewing the contracts of its players, such as that of defender Alexiou until 2026 – and the need to self-finance the market. Carboni’s money is used to then attempt a lunge for Gudmundsson, net of what will then happen with Arnautovic. It’s phase two of the Nerazzurri transfer market: we need to wait. And perhaps repel attacks on players considered central: Calhanoglu, precisely.
