Inter Milan’s Hakan Çalhanoğlu has ended up in the sights of both Arsenal and Aston Villa for the January window.
The midfielder’s deal expires in 2024 and the Serie A side have been working to extend his contract.
At the same time, his performances for the Nerazzurri have caught Arsenal and Aston Villa attention, according to InterLive.it.
The report also covers AC Milan wanting to renew Ismaël Bennacer’s deal until 2027.
It’s claimed Milan potentially securing Bennacer’s long-term future could push the Turkey international towards a few English clubs, ‘especially Arsenal and Aston Villa’.
Inter, for their part, have no intention to get rid of the player in the next window. That does not mean a potential deal cannot take shape because the report explains an offer of €30m could make the Nerazzurri chairman, Steven Zhang, ‘falter’.
Inter must speed up the process to renew Çalhanoğlu’s contract in order to fend off the likes of Arsenal and Aston Villa.
