Report – Fenerbahce Ready To Meet Inter Milan Asking Price For Standout Midfielder

Turkish giants Fenerbahce are reportedly willing to spend big to lure Hakan Calhanoglu away from Inter Milan. According to La Repubblica via FCInter1908, the Canaries are planning to submit a €30 million bid for the star midfielder. In contrast to recent reports, Fenerbahce could pay Inter's asking price in full. Indeed, earlier indications suggested Jose Mourinho's side would only offer up to €20m. However, after reportedly agreeing on personal terms with the player, they're ready to lift their offer. Fenerbahce Willing to Pay €30m for Inter Milan Stalwart Hakan Calhanoglu Hakan Calhanoglu has allegedly promised to join Fenerbahce. Indeed, he made that pledge during a phone call with club president Ali Koc. Meanwhile, Fenerbahce's bitter rivals Galatasaray have reignited their interest in the 31-year-old. However, Calhanoglu's desire to work with Mourinho puts the Canaries in pole position. For now, they must agree terms with the playmaker. That should not be an issue, considering they're ready to offer him €6m net per season plus bonuses.

Report – Atalanta Open To Letting Star Forward Join Inter Milan On Two Conditions

Atalanta are reportedly willing to let Ademola Lookman join Inter Milan, but only under two key conditions. According to Corriere della Sera via FCInterNews, the first condition is for the Nerazzurri to increase their offer. Inter opened negotiations with Atalanta with a tangible €40 million bid. However, La Dea rejected the offer as they hold out for a €50m asking price. Therefore, they have urged Inter to improve the terms. Reportedly, they would greenlight the deal for €45m paid upfront, with an additional €5m tied to performance-related bonuses. Atalanta Ready to Sanction Ademola Lookman Move to Inter Milan on Two Conditions An improved offer is only the first condition. Indeed, there's another key element that could be just as crucial. It's now clear that Atalanta are open to selling Ademola Lookman. Last summer, Atalanta and Juventus spent almost the entire transfer window negotiating a deal for Teun Koopmeiners. The Dutchman's late move to Turin left La Dea with no time to find a suitable replacement. Now that they've learned from that mistake, Ivan Juric's men want to avoid another summer-long saga.
