Newcastle United completed the signing of Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad for a club-record fee last Friday.
The Tyneside club have their eyes on Hakan Çalhanoğlu and have ‘unleashed’ themselves for the Inter Milan player, according to InterLive.
It’s claimed Newcastle think about the ex-AC Milan man as the ‘icing on cake’ to bolster their squad. The Turkey international joined Inter on a free transfer last summer and was one of the vital figures under Simone Inzaghi last season. He started this term on a bright note, managing a goal from three matches.
Eddie Howe’s side have ‘all the financial resources’ to try to take the Nerazzurri player, even after investing €70m on Isak. That doesn’t mean a deal is likely to take shape in the last week of the window.
Although there is no shortage of money at Newcastle, it would be a complicated idea for the Magpies to take the attacking midfielder.
Çalhanoğlu arrived as a free agent and his sale can help Inter make a capital gain, but they don’t want to let him go because he still has a lot to give on the pitch.
