Inter Milan and Hakan Calhanoglu are likely to resume contract extension talks at the end of the season.
According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri are willing to renew the player’s contract, but under different terms.
Hakan Calhanoglu, who joined Inter from AC Milan in 2021, is currently one of the club’s highest earners.
Indeed, the 32-year-old’s €6.5 million annual wages represent a significant financial burden for the club.
Furthermore, the skilled midfielder has struggled with recurring injury problems since the turn of the calendar year.
Therefore, the San Siro giants have decided to put talks with his agent on hold.
Inter Milan Looking to Reduce Hakan Calhanoglu Wages
Calhanoglu’s contract expires in 2027. However, Inter will entertain offers for their playmaker this summer if he declines a new deal.
Meanwhile, Turkish Super Lig heavyweights Galatasaray are keen to sign the former Milan star after failing to secure his signature last summer.
There are no ongoing negotiations between Inter and Calhanoglu, with the Nerazzurri taking their time to reassess the situation.
On the other hand, the Turkey captain has been phenomenal this season.
Despite several fitness setbacks, he has scored nine goals and added four assists in 21 Serie A appearances so far.
