Calm After The Storm – Inter Milan Duo Lautaro & Calhanoglu Share Photo After Summer Transfer Soap Opera
Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez and midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu have shared a photo making peace after their summer blowup. As FCInterNews note, Nerazzurri captain Martinez shared a picture of the two players together on his Instagram story, reunited after a turbulent summer of transfer rumours and harsh feelings. It would be an understatement to say that Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu was at the centre of a transfer saga this summer. For weeks, reports have linked the 31-year-old with a move to Galatasaray. Most coming out of Turkey. In the last week or so, there have even been some shock links between Calhanoglu and Fenerbahce. These transfer rumours became unavoidable after a certain point. Eventually, Inter captain Lautaro Martinez had all but called out the Turkish international a few weeks ago over the rumours. Speaking frankly after Inter's Club World Cup exit against Fluminense, the Argentine implored 'whoever wants to leave, leave.' Inter Duo Lautaro & Calhanoglu Make Peace After Summer Transfer Blowup MILAN, ITALY – MARCH 11: Hakan Calhanoglu of FC Internazionale celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Round of 16 Second Leg match between FC Internazionale Milano and Feyenoord at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on March 11, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Calhanoglu then responded to Martinez's outburst. He hit out that 'respect is a two-way street' and suggested that the captain's comments had been 'divisive.' Naturally, this made it obvious that there was a real rift starting to form within the Inter squad. That made it awkward, then, when it became clear that Calhanoglu would be staying at Inter after all. Inevitably, fans have wondered whether the two key players in the squad can really be on the same page after all of the summer drama. However, Martinez and Calhanoglu have met up before the preseason training camp begins tomorrow. And evidently, they have spoken, made their apologies, and cleared the air.

Inter Milan are reportedly 'crazy' about young Chelsea and Brazil central midfielder Andrey Santos. This according to Italian broadcaster SportItalia, via FCInterNews. They report, however, that the Nerazzurri would only sign the 21-year-old in the event that they make a major sale in midfield. Inter Milan held a number of meetings with agents and intermediaries yesterday. It was a busy day with the transfer window now right at its peak. And according to Italian broadcaster SportItalia, one of the agents at the Nerazzurri's headquarters was Giuliano Bertolucci. According to SportItalia, one of the players who Bertolucci represents that Inter made an inquiry about is Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos. The Brazilian spent last season on loan with Strasbourg in Ligue 1. And Inter are keeping tabs on Santos. Particularly considering his age, the 21-year-old is a player the Nerazzurri see as a prospect for the future. Inter 'Crazy' About Chelsea Midfielder Andrey Santos PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA – JULY 22: Andrey Santos #39 of Chelsea in action during a pre season friendly match against the Brighton & Hove Albion on July 22, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by) According to SportItalia, Inter Milan Sporting Director Piero Ausilio is 'crazy' about Andrey Santos. Therefore, the Nerazzurri have seriously sounded out a move for the Chelsea midfielder in yesterday's meeting. However, the broadcaster reports, Bertolucci made clear to Inter that the Blues are not keen to sell Santos. Therefore, he would cost a significant fee. As such, SportItalia report, Inter would only consider Santos as a target in the event that they made a big sale in midfield. Had a player like Hakan Calhanoglu left this summer. The Brazilian may have been among the targets to replace him, though.
