Man Utd Move For Inter Star Calhanoglu After Captain’s Shocking Snub

DDM News

Manchester United have reportedly made an official approach for Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, amid growing tensions between the Turkish playmaker and his club captain, Lautaro Martinez.

Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) reports that Calhanoglu’s future at the San Siro is now under serious doubt after Martinez, in a surprising turn of events, openly urged his teammate to leave the club.

This unexpected fallout has stirred interest from at least two Premier League clubs, with Manchester United said to be leading the race for the £34 million-rated midfielder.

Sources in Italy indicate that United are closely monitoring the situation, with the club considering Calhanoglu as a potential reinforcement to add depth and creativity to their midfield lineup ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Calhanoglu, known for his technical brilliance, set-piece ability, and passing vision, has been a crucial figure in Inter’s recent domestic and European campaigns.

However, the recent rift with Martinez has thrown his position into uncertainty.

While the details of the disagreement between the two players remain unclear, Italian media outlets have reported that Martinez was quoted as saying Calhanoglu “should consider his future elsewhere,” a statement that shocked fans and sparked speculation of a dressing room divide.

The 30-year-old Turkish international has just two years left on his contract and is believed to be open to a move if a suitable offer comes in from England.

Manchester United, under Erik ten Hag, have been looking to revamp their midfield following inconsistent performances last season, and Calhanoglu’s availability presents an attractive opportunity.

The Red Devils face competition from another unnamed Premier League club, but they are believed to be the frontrunners given their financial strength and current negotiations.

Calhanoglu joined Inter in 2021 from rivals AC Milan and has since become one of Serie A’s most reliable midfielders.

His departure would be a significant loss for Inter, but internal conflicts and potential squad reshuffling may force the club’s hand.

As of now, neither Inter Milan nor Calhanoglu’s representatives have issued official statements regarding the incident or any ongoing transfer discussions.

Manchester United are expected to continue pushing forward with talks in the coming days as the summer transfer window heats up.
