La Gazzetta dello sport confirms Leicester City’s interest in Hakan Calhanoglu. English scouts will be at San Siro today to watch the AC Milan winger.
AC Milan will undergo several changes this summer, especially in the squad. Among the many players who could say goodbye, there is also Hakan Calhanoglu. The Rossoneri signed the 25-year-old winger in 2017 for 21 million euros from German club Bayer Leverkusen.
The Turkish winger has been linked with a move back to Germany but a future in the Premier League can’t be excluded. Leicester City are interested in his services and are expected to make a move when the season ends.
The performances of Calhanoglu have been mostly underwhelming this year. In the first months he was strongly conditioned by personal problems with his wife, with whom he later resolved everything and also became a father. However, improvement didn’t follow him on the pitch. Hakan Calhanoglu has scored only two goals in Serie A this season but things were much better in Europa League where he contributed with one goal and six assists in just five appearances.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport journalist, Nicolo Schira, Leicester City scouts will be at San Siro today to watch Calhanoglu in Milan-Frosinone. This will be the Rossoneri’s last match at San Siro and only a win could keep their hopes alive for a place in Champions League. Later the eyes of the Red and Black fans will be focused on Juventus vs Atalanta.
Leicester City are reportedly preparing an important bid of €30 million for Calhanoglu. Despite a fluctuating form throughout the season the English club values Calhanoglu’s characteristics and are determined to bring in in Premier League..
