Bayern Munich set their sights on Hakan Calhanoglu once again

Bayern Munich are reportedly reigniting their interest in Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu. The German giants had previously attempted to secure his services last summer but were unsuccessful in their pursuit. However, with the summer transfer window approaching, Bayern are expected to make another attempt to bring the Turkish international back to the Bundesliga.

Calhanoglu has been a crucial player for Inter Milan since joining the club. Over the course of 163 appearances for the Nerazzurri, he has managed to score 34 goals and provide 27 assists, showcasing his effectiveness in the attacking midfield role. His ability to dictate play, create chances, and contribute with crucial goals has made him an indispensable asset for Inter.

Beyond club football, Calhanoglu has also been a key figure for the Turkish national team. With 95 caps for Turkiye, he has netted 20 goals, further highlighting his attacking prowess. His experience on the international stage has only added to his reputation as a playmaker with immense technical ability.

One of the standout aspects of Calhanoglu’s game is his expertise in set-piece situations. He is widely recognized for his ability to score from free kicks, often drawing comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo for his knuckleball technique. His right foot is capable of delivering both power and precision, making him a constant threat from dead-ball situations. In addition to his goal-scoring ability from direct free kicks, he is also known for his accuracy in delivering set pieces, providing his teammates with numerous goal-scoring opportunities.

According to reports from TMW, Bayern Munich are seriously considering another bid for the Turkish midfielder at the end of the current season. The club has already initiated contact with Inter Milan to explore the possibility of a transfer. Bayern’s interest in Calhanoglu is understandable, given their need to strengthen their midfield with a player of his technical ability and experience.

A move to Bayern would mark a return to the Bundesliga for Calhanoglu, who previously played in Germany for Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen. His familiarity with the league, coupled with his experience at the highest level, could make him an ideal addition to Bayern’s squad as they look to maintain their dominance in German football and challenge for European titles.

However, securing Calhanoglu’s signature will not be an easy task. Inter Milan will likely be reluctant to part ways with such an influential player, especially given their ambitions in both domestic and European competitions. Additionally, Bayern may face competition from other top clubs who recognize Calhanoglu’s value.

As the summer transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen whether Bayern Munich can finally land their long-term target. If the move materializes, it could prove to be a significant signing for the Bavarian club, providing them with a midfield maestro capable of dictating play and delivering game-changing moments from set pieces. Football fans will be eagerly watching to see how this transfer saga unfolds in the coming months.
