Inter Milan president Giuseppe Marotta has firmly dismissed reports linking Turkish midfielder Hakan Çalhanoglu with a potential move to Galatasaray, insisting that the club has not received any official approach or proposal from the Turkish giants. Speaking on the matter, Marotta reaffirmed the club’s position, stating unequivocally that Çalhanoglu remains a key player under contract at the San Siro.
“There has been no formal contact or request regarding Hakan Çalhanoglu from Galatasaray or any other club,” Marotta clarified when addressing growing transfer speculations in the Italian media. “He is our player, and we consider him an integral part of our squad.”
The Turkish international, who joined Inter in 2021 from city rivals AC Milan, has been one of the standout performers for the Nerazzurri, playing a pivotal role in their recent domestic and European campaigns. Known for his technical quality, vision, and set-piece prowess, Çalhanoglu has earned consistent praise from fans and pundits alike for his composure and work ethic.
Marotta also took the opportunity to commend the midfielder’s professionalism amid the transfer rumours. “As always, Çalhanoglu is conducting himself in an exemplary manner. His attitude, both on and off the pitch, reflects that of a top-level professional,” the Inter president said.
Sources within the Italian club suggest that Inter has no intention of entertaining offers for Çalhanoglu at this time, as the club prepares for another title challenge in the upcoming Serie A season. With his current contract still active, the midfielder is expected to remain a central figure in Simone Inzaghi’s tactical plans.
While Galatasaray’s interest may reflect Çalhanoglu’s popularity in his homeland, Marotta’s remarks make it clear that any potential move is, for now, purely speculative. Inter remains focused on stability and continuity, especially with a core group of players who have delivered consistent performances on the continental stage.
