Lazio midfielder Nicolo Rovella has a similar profile to Calhanoglu.
And La Repubblica report that the 23-year-old is right at the top of the Nerazzurri's shortlist.
However, Rovella would not come cheap. Lazio will not offer any sort of discounts on such a crucial player in their midfield.
La Repubblica report that there is a €50 million release clause in Rovella's contract with the Biancoelesti. And the capital club would expect that clause to be met if they're to sell him.
On the other hand, report La Repubblica, Inter consider that fee to be excessive.

Juventus Told to Pursue Joshua Zirkzee as Replacement for Man Utd, PSG Target
AC Milan are emerging as a serious contender in the search for a new striker this summer, joining Manchester United and PSG in the race. PSG are reportedly open to parting ways with Randal Kolo Muani, and there's even talk that Gonçalo Ramos could be on the move as well. One forward high on PSG's list is Juventus' Dušan Vlahović. According to CaughtOffside, the club began monitoring the Serbian international earlier this year, and with his transfer fee now more reasonable, a summer deal is becoming more likely. Advertisement Arsenal and Manchester United are also keeping an eye on Vlahović, which could spark a bidding war. With just one year left on his contract, Juventus may be willing to negotiate a lower fee rather than risk losing him for free in 2026. Juventus urged to secure this player to replace Manchester United, PSG targetFormer England manager Fabio Capello has encouraged Juventus to sign Joshua Zirkzee as a replacement for Vlahović, urging the club to move for the struggling Manchester United forward. 'Now, Dusan—what's next? I mention departures because it seems Vlahović and Juventus are heading for a split,' Capello said (h/t The Mirror). Advertisement 'In that case, Juve would need a new striker, especially with Kolo Muani's future uncertain (he's still owned by PSG). Who would I pick as the new number nine for the Bianconeri? I'd go straight for Joshua Zirkzee, who showed real class in Serie A. 'Though he's struggled at Manchester United, now might be the right time to bring the Dutchman back to Italy. Zirkzee would also cost less than the frequently linked Viktor Gyökeres. 'The Swede was a goal machine at Sporting, but at 27, he's never faced a top-tier league like ours. In short, I believe the safer bet is the former Bologna man.' GIVE ME SPORT reported this week that Manchester United could be offered the chance to sign Vlahović, who is keen on a move to England for the first time in his career. The striker has reportedly accepted that he is not part of Juventus' long-term plans and recognizes the need for a fresh start to secure consistent playing time. The report also claims that Manchester United are firmly on Vlahović's radar. After tallying 20 goal contributions across all competitions during the 2024-25 season, he is said to be confident in his ability to adapt to the demands of the Premier League.

The Chiefs beat ACT Brumbies and will face the Crusaders in the Super Rugby final
HAMILTON, New Zealand -- The Hamilton-based Chiefs will travel to Christchurch to play the Crusaders in next weekend's Super Rugby final after beating the ACT Brumbies 37-17 on Saturday to reach the title match for the third-straight year. Winger Emoni Narawa scored two tries for the Chiefs and Corey Toole scored a double for the Brumbies as each side scored three tries. Chiefs flyhalf Damian McKenzie separated the teams, kicking six penalties and two conversions for 22 points to surpass 200 points for the season. Fullback Josh Jacomb scored the Chiefs' third try in the 64th minute to establish a 20-point margin and McKenzie's try-saving tackle on Tom Wright two minutes later snuffed out a potential Brumbies rally. 'The Brumbies came out of the blocks fast as we knew they would and I just love the way we were really composed and stuck to our game,' McKenzie said. 'We put the ball in front of our forwards and our set piece was great tonight.' The Brumbies were Australia's last hope in the playoffs as they attempted to win the Super Rugby title for the first time since 2004. Their defeat means Australian teams are now 0-21 in Super Rugby matches in New Zealand. The Brumbies suffered a major blow when Wallabies flyhalf Noah Lolesio failed a head injury assessment in the 11th minute. The kicking game was integral to the Brumbies' plan and while they used it to keep pressure on the Chiefs and to gain field position, Lolesio's early departure was a turning point. The Brumbies had the Chiefs under defensive pressure for long periods in both halves but while hooker Billy Pollard opened the scoring with a try from a lineout drive in the 15th minute the Chiefs were later able to neutralize that threat. Pollard's early try followed his double in the Brumbies' quarterfinal win over the Wellington-based Hurricanes. He finishes with 11 tries for the season as does Toole, who scored his tries on either side of halftime. Narawa scored his first try in the 20th minute, picking the ball up from the base of an attacking ruck and scything through the Brumbies' defense. Toole scored off a precise cross-kick from replacement flyhalf Jack Debreczeni, who previously played for the Chiefs. But penalties to McKenzie gave the Chiefs a 19-12 lead at halftime. Toole scored three minutes after the restart after a lone dash down the left-wing touch. The Brumbies were right in the match at that point, trailing 19-17. But Narawa scored his second four minutes later to begin a run of 18 unanswered points by the Chiefs. The Chiefs will now attempt to go one step further after losing in the final to the Crusaders and the Blues in each of the last two years. They will attempt in Christchurch next Saturday to win their third Super Rugby title and first since 2013 which the Crusaders are seeking their 13th championship.
