Agent admits Atletico Madrid wanted Çalhanoglu 'now Chelsea...'

The agent of Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Hakan Çalhanoglu has revealed the interest of Atletico Madrid.

The Turkey international is currently serving a FIFA ban to the end of this season over his original transfer from Trabzonspor.

Bektas Demirtas confirmed: "Now they comment that Hakan is on Chelsea's agenda.

"What I know well is that Atletico Madrid tried to sign him last summer, but Bayer Leverkusen did not want to sell him, that is why the operation was not carried out.

"At this time the conditions are different and Çalhanoglu can say goodbye. He's ready."
