Juventus remains keen to sign Inter Milan star for free

Juventus remains keen to sign Inter Milan star for freeHakan Calhanoglu has yet to sign a new contract with Inter Milan, raising the possibility that the Turkish midfielder could leave the club as a free agent at the end of the season. His contract situation has attracted interest from Juventus, who are reportedly keen to bring him to Turin.Inter are aware of the situation and are working to prevent him from leaving without receiving a transfer fee. The club still considers Calhanoglu one of its most important players and would prefer to keep him, but negotiations over a new agreement have so far failed to produce a breakthrough.The situation could become more complicated in January, when the midfielder will be able to discuss a potential move with other clubs. Having spent around a decade playing in Serie A, he may prefer to continue his career in Italy rather than move abroad.Juventus prepare to pursue CalhanogluJuventus are reportedly monitoring his contract situation closely and see him as one of the most attractive midfield options available in the Italian top flight.The Bianconeri believe the Turkish international has the qualities required to improve their current squad and are prepared to make an effort to secure his services.They are also aware that Inter would strongly oppose losing such an important player to one of their domestic rivals. However, Calhanoglu has previously demonstrated that he is willing to change clubs within Milan, having joined Inter after leaving AC Milan.His previous move suggests that remaining in Milan is not necessarily his only consideration when deciding his future.(Photo by Richard Heathcote/Getty Images)Inter face uncertainty over his futureAccording to Calciomercato, Juventus consider Calhanoglu the right profile for their current squad and will continue working towards bringing him to Turin.For now, the midfielder appears to be waiting for Inter to improve their contract offer, but negotiations have not progressed as hoped. This leaves the club facing an increasingly difficult situation as the season continues.Inter will be determined to avoid losing him for nothing, particularly given his importance to the team. However, unless both parties reach an agreement, the possibility of his departure will remain.Juventus could therefore have an opportunity to sign an experienced midfielder without paying a transfer fee next summer. Much will depend on how the contract negotiations develop over the coming months and whether Calhanoglu decides that a new challenge in Turin is the right step for his career.
