Inter Milan are reportedly waiting to see whether a big offer comes in for midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu.
The Turkish international's uncertain situation is certainly one of the big themes of the summer transfer window for the Nerazzurri. Reportedly. Galatasaray are keen on his signature.

However, as the Gazzetta dello Sport, Calhanoglu is not the only Inter player who could leave this summer.
Defender Yann Bisseck remains on the radar of several Premier League clubs. And the temptation is certainly there fore the Nerazzurri to cash in on the German after paying just €7 million to sign him.
Meanwhile, the Gazzetta note, Inter could also cash in on young midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic this summer.
The young Serb would reportedly command a fee of around €10 million.

Lautaro and Calhanoglu's tense exchange highlights Inter's delicate state in this post-Inzaghi era
Hakan Calhanoglu had already left the barbers in Istanbul. But the hairdryer treatment wasn't over. His captain at Inter, Lautaro Martinez, didn't like his style. 'Is it happening?' Calhanoglu's hairdresser asked hopefully on Instagram. Is Calha willing to leave Inter for Galatasaray? This irked Lautaro. Ever since Inter flew out to the U.S. for the Club World Cup, there has been a stillicidio — that constant, irritating drip of news about Calhanoglu's future. Advertisement It began with another social media post. No sooner had Inter landed in Los Angeles than the player's father, Huseyin, decided to go public with his desire that 'one day you come to our Galatasaray'. You can understand Lautaro thinking: what about their Inter? Calhanoglu did not play a single minute at the Club World Cup. His calf was acting up and a decision was taken last Thursday for him and Inter's other players with niggling injuries — Yann Bisseck, Piotr Zielinski and Benjamin Pavard — to leave the Club World Cup early. On the one hand, it was an understandable decision. If they weren't going to recover in time to be of use, why keep them in the U.S. and extend an already prolonged season? On the other hand, what kind of message did it send? Lautaro rushed back from injury to make the Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona. He has put his body on the line for Inter. It is worth remembering how he almost sacrificed his presence at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar for the club. While other Italy-based Argentines, Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes, picked up suspensions and appeared to pull out of Juventus squads with the slightest of knocks in the run-up to that tournament, Lautaro left everything out on the pitch. Romelu Lukaku and Joaquin Correa weren't available at the time, so he carried the goalscoring burden for Inter himself. It meant he went to Qatar with his ankle in bits. He needed painkillers to train and play. 'I saw stars,' Lautaro said. 'I wanted to push harder and harder, but my ankle was losing feeling. It was very difficult to play like that. I shut myself off, cried and went through a bad period in my room.' Anything less than 100 per cent commitment is unacceptable to Lautaro. For all the bizarre social media conjecture about his weight, the truth is he runs himself into the ground for Inter and expects others to do the same. Advertisement The 27-year-old has done so again at the Club World Cup. When Inter fell behind against Monterrey and Urawa Red Diamonds in the group stage, his goals got them back into the games. The same almost happened against Fluminense in the round of 16. Trailing again, Lautaro hit the post, produced the save of the day from goalkeeper Fabio, and despaired as Stefan de Vrij missed a point-blank chance from his knockdown at the far post. Without playing well, Inter still created enough to believe the game could have gone to extra-time. Instead, Fluminense knocked them out — much to the satisfaction of their captain, Thiago Silva, who revealed he'd been in touch with his old Milan boss Max Allegri in the week. The game was a derby for him and he was delighted to prevail. Lautaro, meanwhile, couldn't contain his anger. 'I put my heart into it. I left it all out there in every training session. I'm sorry (for our elimination), I really am. I don't want to lose. I'm sorry for the lads. But there's something I'd like to say. You have to want to be here. You have to want to stay. Get it? Because we're here fighting to win things.' 'The message is clear: who wants to stay, can stay. Who wants to leave, can leave.' Lautaro didn't name names. Inter president Beppe Marotta did instead. This was perhaps to localise the issue and stop speculation. Marotta claimed no one has asked to leave, but acknowledged a situation-ship with Calhanoglu. 'We will talk to (him) and resolve the situation in the best way possible for the interests of the team, Inter and himself,' he said. 'Lautaro's rallying call is shared by the club because it is the winning spirit that can take us far.' In the moment, Milan fans didn't so much hate to say: 'I told you so.' They revelled in it. Calhanoglu betrayed them to join Inter on a free transfer in 2021. Loyalty, in their view, should not be expected of him. Calhanoglu clarified his position on Instagram. 'I've never betrayed this club. I've never said I'm not happy at Inter,' he said in a statement. 'There were offers in the past, tempting ones. But I stayed. Because deep down, I know what this shirt means to me, and I believed my actions spoke clearly.' Advertisement Signed to replace Christian Eriksen following his cardiac arrest at Euro 2021, Calhanoglu ended up succeeding Marcelo Brozovic instead. His reinvention as a No 6 was one of the great conversions in recent memory in Serie A and solved what could have been a problem position for Inter. Sixes are hard to find, and it remains to be seen if Kristjan Asllani has what it takes to step into the breach on a more consistent basis if Calhanoglu leaves. Towards the end of his statement, Calhanoglu did not commit to staying. 'What the future holds now, we will see,' he said. A team's midfield isn't only a team's heart and lungs. It is its brain, too, and Calhanoglu isn't the only one who has had his head turned. Rather than scanning for team-mates, Davide Frattesi has been looking for more playing time. He reacted badly to Simone Inzaghi's decision not to put him on against PSG and wasn't in the squad against Fluminense. The Italy international stayed out longer than Calhanoglu, Bisseck, Pavard and Zielinski, but flew home all the same to nurse an injury amid reports of interest from Atletico Madrid. '(Lautaro's) comments also reflect what I said,' Inzaghi's replacement Cristian Chivu insisted. 'Right from the start, we needed to be all in the same boat and pull in the same direction.' One of the strengths of Inter in recent years has been the togetherness of the players and the creation of an environment in which they speak openly and honestly with each other. What Lautaro said in public isn't anything he'd be afraid to say in private to Calhanoglu. At the same time, if you're anything less than all-in with Inter, you will bitterly disappoint him. That was the case with Lukaku, his old friend and strike partner, who ghosted Inter's sporting director Pier Ausilio about making his return to the club permanent in 2023. Lautaro has stood by Inter through thick and thin, committing himself to the cause when it would have been easy to leave. Chivu, in his first full season as a top-flight coach, will need the Argentine's leadership as much as his goals. But did Lautaro overstep the mark? They were, as Calhanoglu said, 'words that hit hard. Words that divide, not unite.' His statement was liked by Marcus Thuram. This is a delicate phase of transition for Inter. Much has been made of the age of the team. Much has been made of their perennial underdog and underrated status — Inter, the team without superstars. It should make people reflect on the job Inzaghi did. His work has been disparaged and diminished since the 5-0 defeat in Munich against PSG. It shouldn't be. After his Al-Hilal team held Real Madrid in the group stage, they followed it up by knocking Manchester City out of the Club World Cup. Inzaghi compared it to 'scaling Everest without oxygen'. Advertisement No, that was achieving what he did at Inter — with a team built largely on free transfers while the club's former owners, Suning, tried and failed to pay back current owners, Oaktree. If Al-Hilal made him one of the highest-paid coaches in the world, it was for a very good reason. Sure, on the one hand, they had to overpay Inzaghi to persuade him to move to Saudi Arabia, but it was also, on the other, recognition of his talent. Chivu must, by contrast, demonstrate that the Inzaghi factor wasn't so great and that the unheralded players so many are quick to doubt were playing to expectation rather than dramatically above it. Chivu's past in Inter's youth sector theoretically makes him perfect for the rejuvenation of the squad Oaktree wishes to oversee. He has immediately integrated academy graduates who have returned from development loans, such as the Esposito brothers and Valentin Carboni. He threw signings Luis Henrique and Petar Sucic in at the deep end at the Club World Cup and will no doubt do the same with Ange-Yoan Bonny and, maybe, Giovanni Leoni — kids he worked with at Parma in the second half of last season. But maintaining the standards set by Inzaghi is another thing entirely. Inter, at least, find themselves in their best financial position in years, following another run to the Champions League final (without win bonuses having to be paid) and their participation in the lucrative Club World Cup. They can go again. But with or without Calhanoglu, this is a team in need of Young Turks.

Juve want Samu, Milan chase Javi Guerra, Napoli eye Lucca, Calha 🤑
The sports season concludes today, June 30, as do some contracts. Negotiations are in full swing and many clubs are working on incoming and outgoing deals to define purchases and sales for the next season. Let's discover the most important news of the day. Juventus, eyes on Omorodion and Ambriz Juventus is preparing to face Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup, but is also taking advantage of the competition to scout new market profiles. As reported by Tuttosport, the Bianconeri have set their sights on Samu Omorodion, a striker who has already left the tournament with Porto. His price tag is high, but he remains a concrete target. Advertisement Also according to Tuttosport, Fidel Ambriz, a midfielder from Monterrey, and the left-back from Palmeiras, Joaquín Piquerez, are also liked. Juventus is closely following these talents, considering significant investments to strengthen the squad for the next season. Milan, Guerra in the middle of the field After closing for Luka Modric and blocking Samuele Ricci and Ardon Jashari, Milan is considering the opportunity to engage Granit Xhaka. The club is not convinced to commit economically for another over 30, especially after the heavy engagement of the Croatian. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the pressure on Javi Guerra is intensifying. The Rossoneri club has made a first offer of 20 million, which was refused. But Milan is ready to raise the bid, increasing the proposal between 20 and 25 million to bring the young midfielder to the Rossoneri. Inter, negotiations continue with Galatasaray for Calhanoglu Compared to last year, when Inter quickly denied Bayern's interest in Hakan Calhanoglu, now there is silence. As reported by Tuttosport, the Turkish midfielder could really leave Milan. Galatasaray is pressing, but there is still a certain distance between demand and offer. Advertisement The sale of Calhanoglu would allow Inter to save about 26 million euros, considering his salary of 6.5 million per season. Galatasaray is firm at 15 million, while the Nerazzurri are asking for a figure between 25 and 30 million. Napoli, Lucca closer According to La Repubblica, Napoli is close to closing for Lorenzo Lucca, striker of Udinese. The Partenopeo club has accelerated contacts and aims to bring him to Dimaro already for the start of the retreat. However, the negotiation is linked to Liverpool's response for Darwin Nunez. Despite the English club asking for 60 million for the Uruguayan, Napoli has not yet completely given up. However, Antonio Conte wants to have a deputy for Lukaku as soon as possible, and the Lucca option is becoming more and more concrete. Roma, target Kenneth Taylor Roma is looking at the incoming market with the name of Kenneth Taylor in mind. The Ajax midfielder, born in 2002 and number 10 of the Dutch Under 21, is among Massara's targets. As reported by Sportmediaset, Roma will try to beat the competition to secure the talent. Advertisement Taylor closed last season with 15 goals and 8 assists, numbers that explain the interest of the Giallorossi club. Ajax asks for 20 million to let him go, and Roma will evaluate whether to strike the blow in the next few days. Lazio, the price of Cancellieri Matteo Cancellieri was not redeemed by Parma, despite a good season. Back at Lazio, according to Il Messaggero, he has attracted the interest of Cagliari and Torino. The Biancoceleste club is willing to sell, but only definitively and for a figure between 10 and 15 million euros. Lazio is also considering the possible sale of Noslin, but Cancellieri remains the easiest profile to place. After two good loan experiences, the young winger could soon leave the Capital for a new adventure. Fiorentina, Sohm is a concrete track Fiorentina continues to look at Parma to strengthen the midfield. After Adrian Bernabè, now the name of Simon Sohm has risen in preferences. According to Corriere dello Sport, the Viola club considers the Swiss midfielder more accessible, valued between 10 and 12 million. Advertisement Sohm, born in 2001, has defensive characteristics but still managed to score four goals last season. His contract expires in 2027 and the engagement is contained, making him an interesting option for the Viola midfield. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Malik Beasley's Off-Court Issues Mount Amid Lawsuit and Gambling Allegations
One of the top NBA free agents, Malik Beasley, who is currently under a federal investigation regarding gambling allegations, is also the defendant in a lawsuit filed by his former agency. New York-based Hazan Sports Management Group sued Beasley in U.S. District Court for breaching a marketing contract on April 18, a day before he and the Detroit Pistons opened a first-round series in New York against the Knicks. ESPN was the first to report Tuesday on the lawsuit. Hazan Sports negotiated a $6 million, one-year contract for Beasley with the Pistons last summer. The shooting guard fired the agency in April and hired Seros Partners, according to the lawsuit, despite a four-year exclusive marketing agreement. The agency is asking for $1 million in damages, plus a $650,000 advance it gave him along with commissions and expenses owed, according to the lawsuit. Both sides are working on a settlement, according to a June 11 filing. A message seeking comment was left with the agency. Beasley's attorney is not mentioned in the filings. His representative, Steve Haney, in the federal investigation said Tuesday he is not a part of the lawsuit. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York is investigating Beasley regarding gambling allegations tied to league games. "In 23 years of practicing law, I've had numerous clients federally investigated who have never been charged," Haney said. "Hope people keep that in mind and reserve judgement." The probe into Beasley comes 14 months after the NBA banned Toronto's Jontay Porter, who was linked to a prop bet investigation and eventually pleaded guilty to committing wire fraud. This past season, The Wall Street Journal was first to report that Terry Rozier — then of the Charlotte Hornets — was under investigation for activity related to unusual betting patterns surrounding him in a March 2023 game. Rozier, now of the Miami Heat, has not been charged with any crime, nor has he faced any sanction from the NBA. Porter's ban came after a similar investigation into his performance and "prop bets" — wages where bettors can choose whether a player will reach a certain statistical standard or not during a game. The Porter investigation started once the league learned from "licensed sports betting operators and an organization that monitors legal betting markets" about unusual gambling patterns surrounding Porter's performance in a game on March 20, 2024, against Sacramento. The league determined that Porter gave a bettor information about his own health status prior to that game and said that another individual — known to be an NBA bettor — placed an $80,000 bet that Porter would not hit the numbers set for him in parlays through an online sports book. That bet would have won $1.1 million. Beasley signed last year with the Pistons, taking a one-year contract for $6 million in the hopes of cashing in this summer as a free agent. He made a single-season, franchise-record 319 3-pointers in the regular season. He helped Detroit make the playoffs for the first time since 2019 and end an NBA-record 15-game postseason losing streak in the first round against the New York Knicks. Beasley averaged 16.3 points last season and has averaged 11.7 points over his career with Denver, Minnesota, Utah, the Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee and Detroit. He scored a career-high 19.6 points a game during the 2020-21 season with the Timberwolves. The Atlanta native played at Florida State and the Nuggets drafted him No. 19 overall in 2016.
