Newcastle United have expressed interest in acquiring Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu and have inquired about the possibility of a summer transfer. The likelihood of the Turkish international departing the Nerazzurri appears to be increasing, with Newcastle among the clubs vying for his signature. At 31, Calhanoglu is regarded as one of Inter’s top performers and has an impressive penalty record, having netted 19 consecutive spot kicks prior to a recent miss. Newcastle have sought updated information on Calhanoglu to assess the feasibility of a summer move to St James’ Park. Nonetheless, they are facing competition from Saudi Arabian teams, Bayern Munich, and another Premier League club. Despite Bayern and the Saudi sides currently being viewed as the frontrunners, Newcastle continue to hold a keen interest in the midfielder. With Calhanoglu's contract at Inter valid until 2027, the Italian club is under no immediate pressure to sell, though substantial offers might lead both Calhanoglu and Inter to consider their options.
