Inter Milan want to tie down Hakan Çalhanoğlu’s long-term future after the approaches made by Everton and a few other clubs.
That’s according Calciomercato, who explain the midfielder ‘received enquires’ from the Toffees in the last transfer window.
However, the Turkey international did not take into consideration the polls carried out by Everton and others since he is happy with his life in Milan.
There is no shortage of time, but their intention to reach an agreement sooner with the midfielder.
That’s because Simone Inzaghi’s side are looking to avoid ‘nasty surprises’ after Everton, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest made approaches for the 28-year-old in the summer.
The player’s decision to not entertain Frank Lampard’s side and the two other clubs has seen him feature in the Champions League with Inter.
Çalhanoğlu scored the winner in his side’s 1-0 win over Barcelona earlier this week and it was his first goal of the competition this season.
