Al-Ahli trying for Inter Milan midfielder Calhanoglu

Inter Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia.

That's according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, when speaking on SOS Fanta.

He said, "Al-Ahli, who took Gabri Veiga in midfield and had previously also tried to take (Piotr) Zielinski from Napoli, also had Hakan on their list.

"Calhanoglu is doing very well at Inter. He was on the list of several Saudi clubs, but there was no possibility of leaving, for Inter at that moment he was untransferable.

"André Onana had already left, but above all because Calha was exclusively focused on Inter and on competing for the Nerazzurri. It was never a close or concrete possibility, but in Saudi Arabia they tried.

"His focus, however, has never changed: head to Inter."
