According to FC Inter News, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest are both admirers of Liverpool target Hakan Calhanoglu.
Newcastle, Nottingham Forest & Liverpool eye Calhanoglu
Well, the Italian news outlet believe Eddie Howe and Steve Cooper are fans of the Turkey international, having both tried to sign him over the summer.
Elsewhere, it was Calciomercato who revealed that Liverpool are keen to sign Calhanoglu.
The Premier League trio expressed an interest in the 28-year-old after he scored eight goals and provided 13 assists in 46 appearances last season, an exceptional return of goal involvements.
Interest in Calhanoglu comes with the Inter Milan No.20’s contract expiring in July 2024, meaning he will only have 12 months remaining on his current terms when the summer transfer window arrives.
The German-born maestro put his name up in lights on Tuesday with a stunning strike against Barcelona, which helped Inter Milan record a vital 1-0 win in Group C of the Champions League.
It was Calhanoglu’s second goal of the season in ten appearances, while he has also registered one assist.
Calhanoglu could join Newcastle, Nottingham Forest or Liverpool
Interestingly, Calciomercato believe Inter Milan hold an intriguing stance on Calhanoglu given his contract situation.
As aforesaid, the attacking midfielder will be in the final year of his deal when the summer of 2023 arrives.
Despite those at the San Siro being satisfied with his efforts, Calciomercato claim that Inter Milan would be willing to sell Calhanoglu for £26m in the January window, in an attempt to capitalise on his strong form.
If the Italian giants wait until the summer, they risk losing their playmaker for a lot less given his contract situation, while a poor second half of the season could also dent his value.
Be sure to keep an eye on this saga going into 2023, as we could soon see Calhanoglu in the Premier League.
