Calhanoglu's future has been among the major talking points this summer.

Yet, there's no reason for panic as Hakan Calhanoglu intends to stay at the club beyond the summer.
After weeks of guessing, the truth has finally come to light.
Indeed, the player has never had any intention of departing the Nerazzurri.

'We will hold talks after the holidays and assess the situation from a professional standpoint.
'Hakan has fully Turkish roots, and I cannot hide that he had a childhood passion for Galatasaray.
'But they have not made any offers.
'And I can also say that we have had no talks with Fenerbahçe, although both are very well-known, top-level European clubs.
'The reports are unfounded – they have nothing to do with reality. No one has sat down with anyone.
'There is not even a table,' he concluded.

Journalist: Liverpool ‘Really want to Sign' £84m Real Madrid Star
Liverpool's Rodrygo Pursuit Signals Bold Ambition Under Slot Liverpool's continued push for elite-level reinforcements in Arne Slot's second season has taken another intriguing turn, with fresh links to Real Madrid's Rodrygo gaining serious traction. According to Lewis Steele, speaking to The Redmen TV, the Reds' admiration for the Brazilian international is both credible and concrete. 'A guy that I speak to in Madrid, who was really reliable with the whole Trent Alexander-Arnold saga, sent me a text last week to say that Liverpool really want to sign Rodrygo,' Steele revealed. This isn't idle speculation. The source involved has previous when it comes to inside information, and this latest development aligns with the club's growing appetite for top-tier attackers. Rodrygo, still only 24, represents the sort of signing that would elevate Liverpool's frontline even further. Having already captured Giorgi Mamardashvili, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz, and with Hugo Ekitike set to arrive for £69 million, the club's intent to dominate across all competitions is crystal clear. One Out Before One In Despite the excitement, there's an unavoidable caveat to any potential deal. As Steele pointed out, 'There's definitely interest. It's a case of who leaves first between Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez. One of them would have to leave for Liverpool to sign Rodrygo.' This is a pragmatic approach, both financially and tactically. Rodrygo is unlikely to be brought in merely for depth. His arrival would indicate a key role, which naturally prompts questions about who makes way. Darwin Nunez has flattered to deceive in large spells, while Luis Diaz, though impactful, has not nailed down an undroppable status under Slot. Both are also likely to command significant fees if sold, especially in a market still adapting to post-Premier League inflation. Steele himself touched on the financial balancing act: 'As we know, Liverpool have spent an awful lot of money. Can they really afford to sign Rodrygo without selling someone? I'm not so sure.' This honest assessment puts the spotlight on Liverpool's decision-makers, who will need to juggle short-term needs with long-term planning. Photo: IMAGO Strategic Statement of Intent Rodrygo is more than a flashy name. He fits the high-press, high-intensity model that Slot values. Quick, intelligent in possession and adept in multiple forward roles, he would suit Liverpool's fluid attacking approach. Crucially, his Champions League pedigree and consistency in big games offer an edge that Liverpool have lacked at times in recent seasons. There's also a sense that Slot, fresh off a title-winning debut campaign, wants to reshape the squad with his fingerprints. Bringing in Rodrygo, especially at a time when Real Madrid are flush with attacking talent like Endrick and Kylian Mbappé, could be seen as a rare opportunity to pounce on a top player who may find minutes harder to come by in Spain. Big Decisions Await With Federico Chiesa also reportedly on the move, the forward market is buzzing. Liverpool's name being firmly in the mix is no coincidence. Whether the Rodrygo pursuit becomes a blockbuster transfer or simply a missed opportunity depends on the next few weeks. If a suitable offer comes in for Diaz or Nunez, expect this to gather pace quickly. What's clear is that Liverpool are not resting on last season's success. Under Arne Slot, they are building something new, aggressive and forward-thinking. The pursuit of Rodrygo may be the next major step in that evolution.

Werder Bremen complete record purchase of Samuel Mbangula
Samuel Mbangula's transfer to Werder Bremen has been officially confirmed. The now former Juventus FC professional moves to the Bundesliga on a record €10m deal. Mbangula is Werder's second most expensive purchase ever. Only Davy Klaasen's €13.5m purchase in 2018 cost the Bundesliga outfit more. Werder's pursuit of Mbangula intensified after injuries to a trio of attackers left newly appointed head coach Horst Steffen with dwindling options. Prior to this deal, Bremen remained extremely quiet on the transfer front this summer. Only Mbangula and Leeds defender Maximilian Wöber have been brought in. 'We see a lot of potential in him,' SV licensing head Peter Niemeyer noted of his new signing in a club statement. 'He proved his quality at the highest level with the Juventus professionals last season. We have always said that we are willing to invest if we are convinced of a player and his potential. That is absolutely the case with Samuel.' 'Samuel brings good pace to the team,' Steffen himself added. 'He is very well trained in terms of football and tactics and can play in several positions in attack. He'll thus make our game more flexible.' GGFN |
