Calhanoglu was strongly linked with an exit over the summer, even reportedly rejecting an offer from Fenerbahce, while fellow Serie A side Torino were credited with interest by multiple sources.
The Turkey international recently gave an interview to SportBild during which he discussed the idea of a potential return to the Bundesliga, insisting he would love to play for Bayern Munich or Borussia Dortmund one day.
According to a report from Calciomercato.com, Calhanoglu represents a ‘dream’ transfer for Galatasaray, who have placed a bid.
However, their offer was only €6million and as a result it was flatly rejected by the Rossoneri, who paid a fee of up to €24m to sign him from Bayer Leverkusen back in summer 2017 (as per Wikipedia).
The 25-year-old has continued to keep his place in the starting XI under Stefano Pioli, suggesting that a January exit would only be allowed for the right price.
