Hakan Calhanoglu’s agent shut down the speculation about his future, revealing there were ‘no offers’ from Galatasaray or Fenerbahce. ‘He will play for Inter this season.’

The flight out to Istanbul sparked intensive rumours that the two clubs were given 24 hours to have negotiations with the player and make a firm bid to Inter.

Instead, agent Gordon Stipic-Wipfler made clear that all the media talk about these swoops were precisely just that, with no genuine basis for a transfer behind any of them.

Calhanoglu agent shuts down speculation

“I can say that no talks have been held regarding Hakan’s transfer with the clubs mentioned and the rumours that emerged,” he told TRT Spor.

“We have not held talks with Fenerbahce. The rumours have no basis. Hakan Calhanoglu and I have not met with Galatasaray either. Hakan will play for Inter this season.

“He is happy at Inter. There will be talks after the vacation, we will deal with the situation professionally.”

Calhanoglu was sat next to his representative during this interview, but chose not to speak himself.

The constant stream of reports from Turkish media suggesting that Calhanoglu was desperate to join Galatasaray prompted a firestorm back in the Inter camp, culminating in an angry rant from Lautaro Martinez.

Now his agent has clarified that while there is undoubted fondness for the idea of coming to Galatasaray, it was never more than an idle daydream.

“Hakan is of Turkish origin, so naturally we all want to represent the teams we supported since childhood. I cannot disguise that Calhanoglu has great childhood fondness for Galatasaray.

“Also, like Fenerbahce, Galatasaray is a well-known, top-tier team in Europe. However, there have not been any offers. According to my information, Galatasaray have other plans.”

Considering the midfielder is expected back in Milan for pre-season training with Inter tomorrow, it should be the opportunity to finally clear the air and start the campaign in earnest after weeks of constant press coverage.
