Calm After The Storm – Inter Milan Duo Lautaro & Calhanoglu Share Photo After Summer Transfer Soap Opera | OneFootball

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez and midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu have shared a photo making peace after their summer blowup.

As FCInterNews note, Nerazzurri captain Martinez shared a picture of the two players together on his Instagram story, reunited after a turbulent summer of transfer rumours and harsh feelings.

It would be an understatement to say that Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu was at the centre of a transfer saga this summer.

For weeks, reports have linked the 31-year-old with a move to Galatasaray. Most coming out of Turkey.

In the last week or so, there have even been some shock links between Calhanoglu and Fenerbahce.

These transfer rumours became unavoidable after a certain point.

Eventually, Inter captain Lautaro Martinez had all but called out the Turkish international a few weeks ago over the rumours.

Speaking frankly after Inter’s Club World Cup exit against Fluminense, the Argentine implored “whoever wants to leave, leave.”

Calhanoglu then responded to Martinez’s outburst. He hit out that “respect is a two-way street” and suggested that the captain’s comments had been “divisive.”

Naturally, this made it obvious that there was a real rift starting to form within the Inter squad.

That made it awkward, then, when it became clear that Calhanoglu would be staying at Inter after all.

Inevitably, fans have wondered whether the two key players in the squad can really be on the same page after all of the summer drama.

However, Martinez and Calhanoglu have met up before the preseason training camp begins tomorrow. And evidently, they have spoken, made their apologies, and cleared the air.
