Hakan Çalhanoğlu, the Inter Milan star, revealed intriguing details about his transfer to the team from AC Milan, confirming that his departure came after a period of anticipation without receiving an official offer to renew his contract.

Çalhanoğlu explained that after his contract with Milan ended, he was waiting for a move from the club's management to extend his contract, but no official offer came, which opened the door to other options in his career.

The Turkish player added that his agent informed him of offers from Barcelona and Juventus before he received a last-minute offer from Inter, noting that coach Simone Inzaghi was in constant contact with him to persuade him to join.

Çalhanoğlu indicated that he initially hesitated due to the sensitivity of a direct transfer between the rivals, before his agent advised him to think calmly and postpone the decision. He made up his mind the next day and agreed to the offer with full conviction, emphasizing that his family respected and supported his decision.
