- Italian media reports suggest Inter Milan is not currently planning to offer Hakan Çalhanoğlu a new contract.

- Despite the lack of a new offer, the midfielder is expected to remain with the Italian club for the upcoming season unless a significant offer is received.
Italian sports media is reporting that Inter Milan is not considering a contract extension for Turkish midfielder Hakan Çalhanoğlu at this time. Çalhanoğlu's current deal with the Serie A club is valid until 2027.
Despite Inter's current stance, Çalhanoğlu is expected to continue playing for the Italian giants in the upcoming season. Reports indicate that there are no compelling offers on the table for the player, and Inter is unlikely to let him go unless an astronomical bid is made.
Furthermore, reports suggest that Fenerbahçe's interest in Çalhanoğlu has waned following the unsuccessful presidential bid of Hakan Safi. This development further solidifies the expectation that Çalhanoğlu will remain at Inter.
While Inter has a history of allowing players to leave on free transfers, it is suggested that Çalhanoğlu's departure will not be a dramatic affair. The club anticipates a farewell after six years of service. Last season, Çalhanoğlu featured in 30 matches for Inter, scoring 12 goals and providing 7 assists.
