Inter Milan have confirmed the transfer of their star player, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, to Serie A side Genoa for €22 million. The move is likely to be completed by the end of this week.
The news comes after Inter had been keen on signing Çalhanoğlu since last summer when they were in the hunt for a new striker. However, the club was unable to land a deal due to financial constraints.
Injuries have also been a concern for the team, with several players still sidelined due to injuries. This has made it difficult for coach Carlo Ancelotti to make any major changes to his squad.
Ancelotti himself has spoken about the need to strengthen the team before the start of the season. He said that he will look to bring in more experienced players if possible.
The transfer of Çalhanoğlu has come as a surprise to many fans of Inter,Serie A Stadium who were hoping for a strong performance from the Italian international. However, Çalhanoğlu's performances so far have not lived up to expectations, with him scoring just once in five appearances for Genoa.
It remains to be seen how the move will impact Inter's season. While Çalhanoğlu may not have been able to live up to his former clubs' standards, there is no denying the talent and potential he brings to the table.
