Both Fulham and Manchester United have made approaches regarding the availability of Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, according to reports this afternoon.
Journalist Orazio Accomando says that the two Premier League clubs have enquired as to the details of a deal needed to sign the 31 year-old defensive midfielder, whilst the tenacious Turkish enforcer has been on the radar of a succession of Saudi Arabian sides for a while. Calhanoglu is already looking to leave the San Siro this summer after Inter’s miserable end to the campaign and an unseemly row with Lautaro Martinez, but his preference is to sign for Galatasaray, but the Turkish giants are only able to pay £12.8m – some way sort of the Serie A outfit’s £34m valuation.
It would be difficult to see either the Whites or United coughing up that sort of money for a player who has already past thirty – but it looks fairly certain that Calhanoglu will leave the San Siro this summer.
Another pensioner. Forget signing anyone 29 and over
Diversionary tactics (I hope)…
Plenty of young promising talent for the x5 positions we need to reshape the team (striker, left winger, CAM, right back, goalie)
Was it the player himself or others saying he was better than Rodri in the holding position a couple of seasons ago? Not sure about Berge future if any truth? Think there might be a few higher profile teams than us if he was leaving Inter interested in him.
Good player and suited to premiership I would imagine.
Sunderland have just signed a 21 year old Senegalese for 30mill! Yes, relegation favourites Sunderland, and we’re looking at players over 30?????
perhaps the wrong end of his career but make no mistake this guy is top draw..
Do worry about age of squad but agree this guy is top draw . But if we signed him must look for younger players to, can’t see a space for Legend Tom Cairney for all the Rumours still not signed.
Typical fulham. Seen us linked with players and as normal we take to long and other clubs come in then we get all the slowing down end of career people in positions we dont need. Loads ofyounger well suited players to go for. Show a little ambition to tickle our peanuts please
Too old we need younger more hungry players and there are plenty available.
We made a big mistake signing the 33 year old Willian didn’t we ?
