close friend Calhanoglu rumored to return to Turkey

son Heung-min’s close friend from his time at Leverkusen, Hakan Calhanoglu(Inter Milan), has also recently been linked with a move to Turkish side Galatasaray.

galatasaray have opened formal talks to sign Calhanoglu, with Inter reportedly demanding a €40 million transfer fee.

calhanoglu and Son are close friends from their time at Bayer Leverkusen and are known for their close relationship, even taking care of each other’s sneakers and jerseys.

transfer possibilities and prospects

the general consensus is that Son’s chances of joining Fenerbahce are “very low” at this point. both Tottenham and the fans want him to stay, and negotiating a transfer fee would be difficult.

calhanoglu also hasn’t made an official offer yet, but with Galatasaray making an active move, it’s not entirely out of the question that the two best friends could be reunited in Turkey in the summer transfer window.

in conclusion, Son’s move to Turkey has some reality with Mourinho’s interest and Fenerbahce’s active courtship, but it’s unlikely to happen due to Tottenham’s transfer fee demands and the player’s desire to stay at the club. On the other hand, if Calhanoglu’s return to Turkey does materialize, we could see an interesting Super League reunion between the two best friends.
