Hakan Calhanoglu could not agree to extend his contract with AC Milan and instead received a higher salary which made him change his loyalty to the other side of the city.
Stefano Pioli, Milan's coach, regrets the exit of the Turkish playmaker because he truly believed in his qualities and always supported him. But, for the managers, there is no despair over the attacking midfielder after his move to Inter.
In fact, Il Corriere della Sera, support their claim by providing the words of Paolo Scaroni, Milan's president, to the microphones of La Politica Nel Pallone in a recent interview:
"We made him an offer. But if he finds a better proposal where he can earn money, then good for him. There is no recrimination from us. We put a limit on the cost of our players’ salaries. Beyond this limit everyone is free to do what they want."
