Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Çalhanoğlu has entered the final year of his contract, shifting the focus of his professional future toward his physical durability. While Inter Milan management and coaching staff, including Cristian Chivu, value his technical skills, recent seasons have been characterized by frequent muscle injuries and physical instability.

Inter Milan is reportedly adopting a stance of “cautious observation” regarding a contract extension. A renewal is considered likely only if the midfielder can demonstrate consistent availability and complete a full season without prolonged absences. 

Amidst these negotiations, interest from Turkish clubs has intensified. While Fenerbahce previously initiated contact to discuss a potential transfer, Galatasaray has now re-emerged as a suitor. Galatasaray is reportedly considering a move for the 32-year-old to strengthen its domestic player rotation as the club manages its foreign player quota. Although Çalhanoğlu’s contract with Inter Milan runs until June 2027, the ongoing uncertainty regarding a renewal continues to provide a potential window for Turkish clubs to pursue the player.
