Fenerbahçe are preparing to revive talks for Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Çalhanoğlu ahead of the January window, according to Fanatik, after missing out on a marquee central midfielder in the summer.
The 32-year-old Turkish international remains in contract discussions with Inter. He is understood to be open to returning to Türkiye, with Kadıköy viewed as his preferred destination.
Club chiefs view his versatility, operating as a No six, No eight or No 10, as a transformative addition to İsmail Kartal’s squad.
With European fixtures and a tight Süper Lig title race testing depth, his set-piece delivery and press-resistant passing keep him near the top of the club’s winter agenda.
Inter continue to discuss his situation in Milan, and Fenerbahçe are drawing up an initial proposal to test the Serie A side’s valuation early in the window.
If talks progress, landing the national team captain would be a significant statement as Fenerbahçe pursue silverware on multiple fronts.
