Juventus makes Hakan Çalhanoğlu inquiry ahead of 2027 contract expiry

Juventus has made an exploratory inquiry about Hakan Çalhanoğlu as it considers midfield options for the summer of 2027, according to Mirko Di Natale of TuttoJuve. The Inter midfielder is in the final year of his contract, with renewal discussions set to shape his next step. Çalhanoğlu will first discuss a fresh agreement with Inter, and a switch to Turin could become an option if those talks fail to produce a renewal. Inter announced his current extension in July 2023, tying him to the club until 2027. A further agreement would remove the immediate prospect of the 32-year-old becoming available without a transfer fee next summer, which is central to the opportunity Juventus is assessing. The profile fits the experienced deep-lying playmaker Di Natale says Juventus is considering. Çalhanoğlu would bring a midfielder accustomed to directing possession in Serie A, with his passing and set-piece delivery offering ways to create chances from deeper positions. His output last season underlines why Inter has reason to keep him. The club’s review of its league-and-cup double credits Çalhanoğlu with 12 goals and seven assists in 30 appearances, including nine league goals. He supplied two goals and an assist against Como in the Coppa Italia semifinal, helping Inter recover to reach the final. That contribution would give Juventus a potential source of goals as well as someone comfortable setting the tempo. It also makes his contract discussions consequential for Inter, where Cristian Chivu relied on him at the heart of midfield during the title-winning campaign. Çalhanoğlu scored in each of Inter’s first two league games this season before an adductor strain interrupted his September schedule.

Juventus prepares formal offer for Neto after Kamil Grabara injury

Juventus is preparing a formal offer to bring Neto back to Turin following Kamil Grabara’s serious knee injury, according to Gianluca Di Marzio. Talks with the Brazilian goalkeeper are progressing, with the club expected to put its financial proposal to him and his representatives on Wednesday.The search accelerated after Juventus confirmed on September 19 that Grabara had torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during training. His absence has left Luciano Spalletti needing another senior goalkeeper and prompted an immediate look at the free-agent market. Neto is ahead of Sergio Rico in the club’s thinking, Di Marzio reported on Tuesday. Both are available without a transfer fee, giving Juventus experienced options after the summer window closed. The 37-year-old returned to Brazil with Botafogo in 2025 following spells with Bournemouth and Arsenal. His contract expired in early July. A return would reunite Juventus with a goalkeeper who already understands the demands of the job. Neto spent two seasons in Turin from 2015 to 2017 and played every minute of the club’s victorious Coppa Italia campaigns in both years, keeping five clean sheets across those ten matches. That record offers a relevant reference for a club seeking dependable cover. Neto was able to contribute to trophy-winning teams despite limited league opportunities, and his previous experience in Serie A would reduce the adjustment required if he joins Spalletti’s squad. If Neto accepts the financial terms, Juventus will arrange his journey and medical before proceeding to a signature. Those steps remain dependent on an agreement, with the length and value of the proposed contract still undisclosed.
