Overview
- Inter has taken a not-for-sale stance on Hakan Calhanoglu and intends to keep the midfielder for 2026–27, with coach Cristian Chivu pushing for his retention.
- Talks on a new deal are on hold because the Oaktree-controlled ownership restricts big renewals for players over 30 and the player sought higher pay.
- His current contract runs through June 30, 2027, and both sides are prepared to continue without an immediate extension.
- Club figures say the decision to keep him came before his brace against Como, which reinforced his value in the run-in.
- Calhanoglu has 12 goals and 7 assists this season despite missing about 13–14 matches with muscle issues, and he told the club he must manage his body better as he ages.
