Hakan Çalhanoğlu’s Inter Future: New Contract Claim Emerges
Inter are reportedly considering a new two-year deal for Hakan Çalhanoğlu, whose current contract expires at the end of the season.
Hakan Çalhanoğlu’s future at Inter has returned to the spotlight after a new contract claim emerged in the Italian media.
According to a report carried by NTV Spor and attributed to Tuttomercatoweb, Inter are considering talks over a new deal for the Türkiye international, whose current contract is due to expire at the end of the season.
The report claims that Inter sporting director Dario Baccin could meet Çalhanoğlu’s agent, Gordon Stipic, in the coming weeks. It also suggests that a possible proposal could include a two-year contract, a net annual salary of €4.5 million and bonuses.
The same report states that the club may seek a lower fixed salary than the player’s current reported €6.5 million deal.
None of the reported details — including the meeting, contract length or financial terms — has been officially confirmed by Inter or the player’s representatives. At this stage, it remains a single-source claim attributed to Tuttomercatoweb.
What would a new deal say about Çalhanoğlu’s Inter role?
The key question is not simply whether Inter would extend Çalhanoğlu’s contract. It is how the club sees his role in the next phase of its midfield.
A player who helps control the first phase of possession, dictate tempo and connect the defensive and attacking lines is not easily replaced. If Inter are genuinely exploring a short-term renewal, it could indicate that the club still sees Çalhanoğlu as central to that structure while managing the financial and physical risks that come with a player in his thirties.
Inter would therefore be balancing two priorities: retaining a proven midfield organiser and maintaining flexibility in a squad that will inevitably evolve.

Turkish-club and Juventus claims remain unconfirmed
The report also claims that Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş are monitoring Çalhanoğlu’s situation, while Juventus could enter the picture if Inter fail to make progress on a renewal.
Those links have not been independently confirmed. There is no basis yet to frame the situation as an Inter exit, a return to Türkiye or an imminent transfer.
For now, the story is about a possible contract discussion — not a completed deal. Any confirmation will need to come from Inter, the player’s camp or further reliable reporting.
