According to Calciomercato, Newcastle United are preparing to make an offer for Inter Milan attacking midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu.
The Magpies are willing to spend up to €40 million for the 29-year-old, who is about to reach the final year of his contract.
Newcastle are prepared to make a ‘concrete’ move to sign the Turkish international as they continue their push to qualify for the Champions League next season.
Calhanoglu is a versatile midfielder who can play in a variety of roles, including playmaker, winger, and deep-lying playmaker.
He is well-known for his passing prowess, vision, and set-piece delivery. Calhanoglu has been a standout for Inter this season, contributing four goals and eight assists in 44 games across all competitions. His physique has not gone unnoticed.
Calhanoglu may be interested in playing in the Premier League. He has already stated his desire to play in England, and he would fit very well with Newcastle’s style of play.
The Turkish international is preparing for the most important game of his career, the Champions League final against Manchester City.
If the trade goes through, the Magpies could wind up signing a Champions League winner.
Inter Milan is willing to transfer Calhanoglu in order to raise finances to bolster their squad, and with 12 months remaining on his contract, now would be an ideal moment to cash in.
If the Serie A giants do not sign Calhanoglu to a new contract, he might go for free next summer.
