In their search for a new player, Bayern are also considering Turkish star Calhanoglu. This is reported by the media. His club is said to have responded clearly to the recruitment.
Following reports of FC Bayern’s interest in Turkish international Hakan Calhanoglu, his club Inter Milan has, according to a media report, brought a very high transfer fee into play. As the “Gazzetta dello Sport” reported, the Italian football champions want to enter possible transfer negotiations with a demand of 70 million euros. The 30-year-old professional, who is currently playing for Turkey at the European Championships, has a contract with Inter until June 2027 as a key player in midfield.
At the weekend, the “Bild” newspaper reported that the Munich team had contacted the former Hamburger SV and Bayer Leverkusen professional. The Turkish broadcaster TRT Spor reported that Calhanoglu himself had confirmed Bayern’s interest to a reporter in the team camp. There was initially no official reaction from the clubs; the player also did not comment on the reports surrounding the group match against Portugal (0:3) in Dortmund.
Mega demand for crowd favorite
According to “Gazzetta”, the reports have alarmed those responsible at Inter. There has been no official contact from Munich recently, after the Bundesliga club had already been turned down with an inquiry about Calhanoglu in May. But because Bayern is still talking to the agent of the Mannheim-born footballer, the Serie A club wants to arm itself and warn the interested party from Germany with the XXL transfer fee demand.
Calhanoglu plays a major role in Inter’s plans for next season after being, together with captain Lautaro Martinez, one of the biggest championship guarantors, symbolic figures and fan favorites last year.
Speculation about several Bayern candidates
After a disappointing season, Bayern are currently being linked with a number of possible new signings, from the Portuguese João Palhinha (28/FC Fulham) to the Dutchman Xavi Simons (21), who was recently loaned to RB Leipzig, to the German internationals Jonathan Tah (28/Bayer Leverkusen) and Chris Führich (26/VfB Stuttgart). So far, only the signing of the Japanese defender Hiroki Ito (25) from Stuttgart has been officially confirmed.
