Back at Appiano Gentile after his injury and hectic holidays, Hakan Calhanoglu finally spoke. Absent from the Club World Cup, the Turkish midfielder spoke for the first time since his return to Italy: “My vacation was not easy for many reasons, but we were still in contact with Inter. I trained during my vacation too, and I am in great shape. I'm happy to be back: I missed everyone. And nothing … Now, I want to get back to work. “ Inter Milan has done everything to keep its midfielder despite the persistent rumors of a possible departure to Turkey. Finally, number 20 will remain at Inter and is very focused on his return to competition.
Asked about transfer speculation, Calhanoglu preferred discretion, while displaying his loyalty to Inter according to the Gazzetta dello Sport: “Each year, there are rumors of transfer, a little more this time, but I didn't say anything because I wanted our supporters to see my return, it is not good to always make declarations. Of course, I am happy to be back; I am an Inter player and I want to stay here. ” On his future, he remains rather reserved: “Hopefully and see what will happen over the years. But my goal is to win here. ” He took the opportunity to evoke his relationship with “El Toro”, Lautaro Martinez: “We have discussed, we are professionals, there are no problems. When the captain returns, I will hug him. ”
