Calhanoglu's future has been among major talking points this summer.
Indeed, the Turkish midfielder has emerged as Galatasaray's top target after Simone Inzaghi's departure.
Hakan Calhanoglu was indispensable under the former manager, but things could change now that Chivu is in charge.
Inter Milan Open to Selling Hakan Calhanoglu to Galatasaray
MILAN, ITALY – MARCH 11: Hakan Calhanoglu of FC Internazionale celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Round of 16 Second Leg match between FC Internazionale Milano and Feyenoord at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on March 11, 2025 in Milan, Italy.

Calhanoglu has been out of the squad since the Champions League final due to another fitness problem.
Indeed, the former AC Milan playmaker has yet to recover from a calf injury.
Therefore, he'll likely miss the rest of Inter's FIFA Club World Cup campaign.
As such, his appearance in the Munich showpiece could prove his last in the Nerazzurri shirt.
Meanwhile, Inter may have already found a top-class replacement in Petar Sucic.
Nevertheless, they'll return to the market for a new midfielder should Calhnaoglu move to Istanbul.

Manchester City squad audit: Pep Guardiola has ‘too many players', but who goes?
Manchester City brushed Juventus aside in a highly impressive 5-2 win to confirm their status as group winners Getty Images Getty Images Having flirted with the idea of making Manchester City's squad bigger to help combat injuries, Pep Guardiola is sticking to his guns and wants to again work with a relatively small group. The problem is that City currently have 32 senior pros. 'We have a long squad, too many players,' Guardiola said on Sunday. 'We cannot go with 26 or 27 players this season because there would be more not playing. 'Step by step, maybe a few players are going to move.' So who should stay and who should go? Sam Lee takes a look... GO FURTHER Manchester City squad audit: Pep Guardiola has 'too many players', but who goes? Getty Images Feeling brave? Weston McKennie and Timothy Weah clearly were this week when they committed the ultimate faux-pas for many in their adopted home. They criticised the food. The Juventus duo did not have their diplomatic hats on when they suggested that Italians "don't have variety" in their cuisine. Now it's got the US versus European food debate fired up with some pretty invested people on both sides of the Atlantic arguing their case. Will there be post match pasta if Juventus win tonight? GO FURTHER How Weston McKennie and Tim Weah wound up a nation: 'Are you going to say Italian food is trash?' 'It's impossible, terribly hot. My toenails were hurting; I couldn't slow down or speed up. It was unbelievable.' Players, fans and executives have been complaining to The Athletic about the heat at the Club World Cup - and it's about to get a lot hotter as a heatwave will shortly hit the U.S., taking temperatures past 100F and turning up the humidity. FIFA says it has cooling breaks in place for players but experts say it should take more proactive action. The Athletic 's staff on the ground explain the issues, how teams are trying to cope, what FIFA is doing and consider if it should do more. Dive deeper below. It would be clumsy to say that Kenan Yildiz would be making a name for himself if he has a good tournament this summer. After extending his contract until 2029 last summer, the Turkey international took over the iconic No 10 shirt worn by some of the greatest players in the club's history — but at just 20, there is still so much to be excited about. Fleet-footed, fearless, and forward-thinking, Yildiz is a box of tricks in his desire to dribble past his opponent. Yildiz's 113 take-ons are more than any other Juventus player in Serie A this season. Much like his team, Yildiz's form has fluctuated this season but there is undoubtedly enough evidence in his performances that he can be the key attacking weapon in Juventus' attack. As the club known as The Old Lady negotiates a tricky period in their recent history, Yildiz looks to be a window into their future. GO FURTHER Club World Cup Group G: A chance for Manchester City and Juventus to end the season positively? Getty Images These tournaments are all about the shared experience — and we would love to hear from you throughout this Club World Cup. Be it a comment, observation, prediction, a question you always wanted answered, or something completely different, we welcome it all. Email us at live@ and have your say. We're already looking forward to reading what you've got for us. Getty Images With just four games left of the group stage at the 2025 Club World Cup, we already know six of the eight last-16 ties — and we have a few cracking ties to look forward to already. Here is how the knockouts are shaping up ahead of today's matches. Saturday 12pm – Palmeiras vs Botafogo – Palmeiras vs Botafogo 4pm – Benfica vs Chelsea Sunday 12pm – Paris Saint-Germain vs Inter Miami – Paris Saint-Germain vs Inter Miami 4pm – Flamengo vs Bayern Munich Monday 3pm – Inter vs Fluminense – Inter vs Fluminense 9pm – Group G winner vs Group H runner-up Tuesday 3pm – Group H winner vs Group G runner-up – Group H winner vs Group G runner-up 3pm – Borussia Dortmund vs Monterrey All times ET Getty Images Juventus vs Manchester City, a clash of two of Europe's heavyweights, is the standout match of the group — and it is not even close. Helpfully, we can use some crumbs of tactical insight from earlier this season, when they faced off in the Champions League, with Juventus running out 2-0 winners in a league-phase fixture in Turin on December 11. Visitors City dominated the possession and territory, pinning Juventus back with wide combinations. However, it was the home side who were sharper in attack, with both goals coming from crosses which City failed to defend properly. At a time when City were still adjusting to not having injured midfielder Rodri around to break up opposition attacks, their vulnerability to the counter was rife in nearly every game. City's rest defence has tightened up in the months since, but keep an eye out to see whether Guardiola's side fall back into old habits this summer. Fans have had to wait until matchday three for the European pair to face off in Orlando, but given this will be the blockbuster tie of the group, you would imagine it will be worth the wait. Getty Images And here is a more easily digestible look at today's four fixtures and where they are all being played. Group G – 3pm ET Juventus vs Manchester City — Camping World Stadium, Orlando Wydad AC vs Al Ain — Audi Field, Washington, DC Group H – 9pm ET Al Hilal vs Pachuca — GEODIS Park, Nashville — GEODIS Park, Nashville RB Salzburg vs Real Madrid — Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia Both of these teams will be desperate to avoid Real Madrid in the last 16, I imagine. Group G is twinned with Group H and Xabi Alonso's men are in pole position to finish first in the latter. Madrid, currently first, and second-placed Salzburg are level on points and if, as expected, Xabi Alonso's side avoid defeat and top the group, they will face the second-placed team in Group G... which will be decided in this match. All clear? It has been a case of total domination in Group G from Juventus and Manchester City. They have won both of their matches and have already booked their places in the knockouts. The only thing left to be decided is who advances as group winners. As for Al Ain and Wydad AC, there is little else other than pride left to play for. Venue: Camping World Stadium, Orlando, Florida Camping World Stadium, Orlando, Florida Capacity: 58,500 58,500 Team(s): UCF Knights, Orlando Guardians Camping World Stadium opened before World War II, and it's a huge stadium that is well known in the U.S. as a neutral site stadium for college football games. It has undergone several remodels and expansions that make the venue ideal for big concerts. In that sense, it's clear why FIFA picked Camping World Stadium as one of the stadiums that will host one of the tournament's marquee games. Juventus versus Manchester City will have a U.S. summer tour feel to it. This time it'll be, in theory, a meaningful match in which two European powers battle for first place in Group G. It'll be scorching hot in Orlando, so bring your sunscreen and drink plenty of water.
