Calha-Inter, now the farewell seems inevitable. Here is the replacement for the bookies

Charles Leg Cutter

Now the case has officially exploded. The words of Lautaro first and then Marotta had only one (big) addressee: Hakan Calhanoglu, who has been at odds with the club for some time now and is eager to return to Turkey. And that Calhanoglu is close to leaving Inter is also demonstrated by the bookmakers' odds, which are collapsing on all the main banks.

Calhanoglu is not speaking and is not releasing his reservations about his future, at least officially, because from Turkey - where he is still for a wedding - statements and winks are bouncing for his return to Galatasaray. The club of his dreams is said to have already prepared for him a pharaonic contract of 10 million per season. A situation that, after Inter's elimination at the hands of Fluminense in the Club World Cup, first made captain Lautaro blurt out "whoever wants to leave should say so immediately", then President Marotta, who mentioned the Turk's name saying that "if he wants to go, the doors are wide open". Words that certify the break and that make the odds of a farewell collapse, now quoted at just 1.20 on Snai and 1.15 on Sisal and Gazzabet .

For the post-Calha, Chivu's favorite name is Adrian Bernabé, a Spanish midfielder from Parma who the Romanian coach has trained in recent months. After Bonny and (perhaps) Leoni, a real transfer axis could be born between Parma and Inter under the direction of Cristian Chivu himself, eager to enhance 'his' boys even in the shadow of the Madonnina.
