Fenerbahçe Eyes Hakan Çalhanoğlu as Medical Department Gets New Structure

Fenerbahçe's management, which plans to bring in four reinforcements for its squad, is placing great importance on signing a domestic player while also taking the foreign player rule into account. The yellow-and-navy side, looking for a versatile midfielder, has put Inter's Hakan Çalhanoğlu on its radar.

The national team player's contract with the club expires in the summer of 2027. The Italian side wants to keep the player and sign him to a new deal. However, it is reported that Hakan is not warm to the contract extension offer and is evaluating his future. Juventus is also closely monitoring the player. It was noted that Hakan has also been cool toward the black-and-white side.

Fenerbahçe's management has done the transfer fee calculation to complete the move during the mid-season window. Because the contract ends in the summer of 2027, the yellow-and-navy are also weighing the possibility of Inter losing the player for nothing at the end of the season. It was reported that the club plans to add the player to its squad for a transfer fee of around 10 million euros. The 32-year-old midfielder is said to aim to continue his career in Turkey.

On the other hand, Fenerbahçe announced a new structure in the medical department of its first team. According to the statement, responsibility for the medical department has been given to Dr. Halil Polat. The 45-year-old Polat worked at Göztepe between 2021 and 2022. He then moved to Trabzonspor, where he served as the club's doctor for two years, and left Trabzon in October 2024. Polat was appointed in place of Ahmet Kulduk.
