Galatasaray has stepped up its preparations for the upcoming season by placing Hakan Calhanoglu at the top of its transfer list, as the club looks to strengthen its squad with a proven international midfielder.

The Istanbul-based club has been tracking the Turkish national team star since last year and is now working to wrap up the deal ahead of the new season.

Valuation gap shapes negotiations

According to a report by Calciomercato, Inter expects to bring in between €15 million and €20 million ($17 million to $20 million) from the transfer.

However, Galatasaray’s management has set a firm ceiling, indicating it will not go beyond €10 million (around $11.5 million) for the 32-year-old midfielder.

Calhanoglu’s recent performances underline why he remains a key target.

He has featured in 26 matches this season, contributing 9 goals and 4 assists, figures that highlight both his scoring ability and playmaking role from midfield.
