Manchester United and Fulham have enquired about wantaway Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, who currently dreams of a switch to Galatasaray.

According to Orazio Accomando, Premier League clubs like Manchester United and Fulham have already enquired about Hakan Calhanoglu’s availability. The friction between the Turkish international and Inter Milan could see him leave, although he prefers a switch to Galatasaray.

In the aftermath of Inter Milan crashing out of the CWC at the hands of Fluminense, a lot of friction behind the scenes have come to light. The major talking point after the game has been surrounding Hakan Calhanoglu, with club skipper Lautaro Martinez criticising him in an interview.

The likelihood for the Turkish international to leave the club is much higher at this moment, as Inter Milan are prepared to cash in on the player that cost them nothing a few years ago. The Nerazzuri have slapped a €40 million asking price on the midfield maestro, something that will make a potential sale difficult.

Galatasaray are Calhanoglu’s dream destination, with the player open to the switch to the Turkish giants. However, the Istanbul powerhouse are only eager to pay around €15 million and not more, which is nowhere close to the asking price of the €40m-rated set-piece maestro.

Hence, Inter Milan might be more inclined towards selling him to one of the Premier League sides, as Manchester United were interested back in January. The Red Devils are again keen on adding the Turkish star to their ranks should a viable deal become a possibility.

Manchester United and Fulham are interested

Manchester United need midfield reinforcements, as some recent media reports have linked them to players like Fabian Ruiz. The idea is to bring in a controller profile that brings solidity in the middle, which Calahnoglu excels in. The Red Devils have made enquiries about the midfielder, as this saga could have legs in the latter stages of the window.

Meanwhile, Fulham are also keen on Calhanoglu, as Marco Silva is keen to land an experienced midfielder in the window. They are linked with Joao Palhinha, their former star as his future at Bayern Munich has come under considerable doubt. The Calhanoglu links could be interesting, and while the player prefers a switch to Galatasaray, the financial aspect of the deal could determine the direction of travel.
