Inter Milan Ready To Hang On To Turkey Talisman & Add Serbia & France Talents To Their Ranks | OneFootball

Inter Milan are planning to retain Hakan Calhanoglu, trigger Aleksandar Stankovic buyback and sign Manu Kone from Roma, shaping a midfield overhaul that builds around their Turkish talisman while adding youth and dynamism.

According to Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, Galatasaray’s pursuit of Calhanoglu has faded.

The Turkey captain is happy at Inter and his agent will discuss a possible contract renewal. Both the club and Cristian Chivu consider him too important to lose.

Stankovic’s return from Club Brugge is already decided.

Chivu spoke warmly about the Serbia midfielder this week, another talent he helped develop who is now ready to step up.

The buyback clause will be triggered unless a club arrives with an irresistible offer of €35-40 million from England or Atletico Madrid.

Roma Must Sell Kone By June 30 As Inter Prepare To Strike For Stankovic & Hold Calhanoglu

Furthermore, Koné’s situation at Roma has become clearer.

The Giallorossi must raise funds before June 30th to comply with financial fair play regulations, and selling a high-profile player is unavoidable.

Indeed, that financial pressure gives Inter significant leverage in negotiations.

Therefore, the conditions for a Koné deal are more favourable than at any previous point.

Inter failed to sign him last summer. This time, Roma’s financial situation removes the main obstacle.

The midfield picture for next season is taking shape. Calhanoglu stays. Stankovic returns. Koné arrives.

A very different engine room, but a potentially more powerful one.
