Not A Juventus-Vlahovic Situation – Inter Milan Not Desperate To Offload Ex AC Milan Star This Summer

Midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu is expected to remain at Inter Milan this summer, despite recent strong rumours linking him with a move away. Reports indicated Turkish club Galatasaray were pushing to sign him, but they were unable to meet Inter's asking price for the 31-year-old, leading negotiations to break down before they properly started.

However, the public transfer saga has caused friction within the Inter squad. Calhanoglu's apparent openness to the move and embracing the rumours was reportedly poorly received by some teammates. Captain Lautaro Martinez made thinly-veiled critical comments after the Club World Cup exit, stating "whoever wants to leave, leave," seemingly directed at Calhanoglu.

Consequently, if Calhanoglu stays, as now seems probable, questions remain about how he will reintegrate into the squad. Nevertheless, Inter are not actively trying to force him out, unlike the situation facing striker Dusan Vlahovic at Juventus.

The situation contrasts sharply with Dusan Vlahovic at Juventus. Persistent rumours about Vlahovic's future have made the prospect of him staying at Juventus appear intolerable for the club. Furthermore, Juventus have already secured a replacement by signing Canadian international Jonathan David. Therefore, it is considered highly likely that Juventus will find a way to offload Vlahovic before the transfer window closes.
