Report – Al-Hilal Consider Hijacking Galatasaray For Türkiye Megastar To Reunite Him With Simone Inzaghi | OneFootball

Galatasaray’s pursuit of Inter Milan star Hakan Calhanoglu has taken a blow as Al-Hilal joined the race to sign the Turk.

Per Turkish media outlet Milliyet via FCInterNews, the Saudi Pro League giants want to reunite the 31-year-old with Simone Inzaghi.

Despite Galatasaray’s genuine interest in Hakan Calhanoglu, their unreadiness to meet Inter’s demands could leave them empty-handed.

Indeed, the Serie A runners-up have made their stance on the midfielder’s price tag abundantly clear.

They don’t want to sell Calhanoglu for less than €35 million.

Though the Turks are aware of Inter’s demands, they’re unwilling to cross the €15m threshold to close a deal.

As such, Calhanoglu’s transfer to Istanbul is hanging by a thread.

Meanwhile, Al-Hilal could take advantage of Galatasaray’s stubbornness to lure the ex-AC Milan playmaker to the desert.

Furthermore, they have an ace up their sleeves.
