The Bundesliga giants are keeping no stone unturned to string together a formidable squad after remaining trophyless in the 2023-24 campaign. They have reportedly agreed to sign<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-michael-olise-crystal-palace-bayern-munich-move-harry-kane/bltc0e30d9892b76dae" target="_blank"> Michael Olise from Crystal Palace</a> and are now trying to further bolster their attack by signing Calhanoglu from Inter, according to <a href="https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/fc-bayern-kommt-dieser-em-superstar-ueberraschender-name-diskutiert-6675aedd6e2b4647e883f98c" target="_blank">Bild.</a>

WHAT HAPPENED?

Given Calhanoglu's impressive performances for Inter Milan, it is no surprise that Bayern are keen on bringing him back to Germany, the country where he was born and began his professional career. The speculation gained further credibility when <a href="https://www.trtspor.com.tr/haber/futbol/hakan-calhanoglu-bayern-munihe-cok-yakin-19028569" target="_blank">TRT Sports</a> reporter Ibrahim Kirkayak, who was with the Turkey national squad as they prepared for their EURO 2024 match against Portugal, asked Çalhanoğlu directly about the transfer rumours. According to Kirkayak, the midfielder confirmed that there were indeed ongoing talks with Bayern Munich and expressed interest in the potential move.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Moreover, according to<a href="https://www.fcinternews.it/in-primo-piano/fcin-bayern-serio-su-calhanoglu-contratto-gia-pronto-i-dettagli-giocatore-attratto-dall-offerta-l-inter-957633" target="_blank"> FCInterNews.it</a>, the offer from Bayern includes a four-year contract worth €8 million (£7m/$9m) per season, plus bonuses. This substantial financial package underscores Bayern's determination to secure Calhanoglu's signature and reflects the value they see in the experienced playmaker.

DID YOU KNOW?

Given his significant contributions over the past few seasons, Inter could stand to make a substantial profit from his sale, with potential figures ranging between €50-60 million (£42m/$54m - £51m/$64m) Such a transfer fee would be a considerable return on investment for Inter since they signed him as a free agent from their city rivals AC Milan in 2021. Meanwhile, Calhanoglu will be in action with Turkey against Portugal on Saturday afternoon in Euro 2024.
