Another chapter of the Calhanoglu affair was staged today at Casa Milan. Gordon Stipic arrived in Italy in the last hours and at 2 pm he showed up at the Rossoneri headquarters where he met Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara. The meeting lasted for an hour and a half. But there have been no important steps forward from Milan. The Rossoneri were thinking of closing the renewal this month: but the negotiations will still go on.

Milan offers Calhanoglu a four-year contract for four million euros a year. So a million and a half more than his old contract. His agent instead asks for five million plus bonuses. The gap between the offer and demand is still substantial. However, both parties involved have a desire to conclude the deal. The definitive agreement could be found at 4.5 million euros per year, but Milan must make a sacrifice and raise their wage bill. Calhanoglu's state of condition does not help: the Turk has not appeared in form in the last few games.
RUMORS FROM ABROAD - Several clubs called Calhanoglu's entourage to ask for information. From the Premier League there are rumors that Manchester United would be interested in signing Milan's number 10. Also in the Bundesliga, several clubs have set their sights on Calhanoglu: there is talk of Leipzig who have never hidden their interest, given that they had already tried to sign Calhanoglu two years ago. But the will of the Turk is clear for now: he wants to renew with Milan. But time passes and the signature is slow to arrive...
