While Franck Kessié is cited at Inter Milan for the next transfer window, Hakan Calhanoglu is trying to convince the Ivorian star to join the Nerazzurri.
Kessié and the Inter midfielder left Milan, one in 2022 and the other the year before. While Calhanoglu joined Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, the Ivory Coast international went to Camp Nou. At Barcelona, the former Rossoneri midfielder was unable to win, being a substitute for Pedri.
Now it turns out that Kessié wants to leave at the end of the season. In addition to Tottenham, Inter is also positioning itself. A replacement for Christian Eriksen, Calhanoglu believes his former team-mate can fit in well at the San Siro as well, claiming the Serie A side are as big as the La Liga side.
“He is a Kessié friend and a high-level player and champions are always welcome here. We talk a lot, it’s true. He plays for a big club, but he knows Inter are the same. »the Turkish international told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Of course, they had doubts at first. It was not easy to replace a great player like Eriksen coming from Milan. But I was sure things would change and the fans would like me. The love was spontaneous, without the need for theatrical gestures. It came slowly, with no real spark. »did he declare.
