Calhanoglu set to return, Inter Milan hope for injury-free finish

Turkish midfielder back in action against Fiorentina as Inter Milan eyes Scudetto and Coppa Italia success

Hakan Calhanoglu is finally ready to return for Inter Milan, set to feature against Fiorentina. 

After a season disrupted by injuries, the Turkish playmaker’s comeback is seen as crucial both for the remainder of the campaign and for evaluating his long-term future with the club.

According to Corriere dello Sport via Fcinter1908, after the Fiorentina match, Calhanoglu will join his national team as Turkey aims for the World Cup, paralleling the Italian squad’s journey. Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu is hoping the midfielder avoids further setbacks.

Hakan Calhanoglu future depends on fitness and season-end form

Initially, Calhanoglu seemed to be regaining stability compared to last season, when injuries consistently hampered his performances. 

However, since December, he has suffered three separate stoppages, raising doubts within the Inter Milan hierarchy.

The club had been considering a contract renewal through 2027, with a potential transfer only if an agreement could not be reached.

Now, everything hinges on how the rest of the season unfolds. Only a Calhanoglu demonstrating consistent physical and athletic reliability will secure a future at Inter Milan; otherwise, alternative paths may be explored.
