Report: Juventus join race for Inter veteran Calhanoglu

Juventus are reportedly monitoring Hakan Calhanoglu's contract situation at Inter, with the midfielder's current deal set to expire in June 2027. According to reports from Ekrem Konur, the Bianconeri could make a concrete move for a permanent transfer if contract renewal negotiations between the Turkish international and Inter completely collapse. Several Turkish clubs are also keeping close tabs on the ongoing stalemate.

Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti is reportedly seeking a natural deep-lying playmaker, as current midfield pairings featuring Douglas Luiz and Pape Matar Sarr lack that specific profile. However, potential hurdles include Calhanoglu turning 33 in February and his ongoing fitness concerns, having suffered seven injuries since November 2025 under Inter manager Cristian Chivu.
