The Turkish international’s San Siro deal runs out at the end of the 2020/21 season – and reports in Italy suggest the attacker will leave on a free transfer after a £30,000 per week extension was not accepted by the player.

Calhanoglu has reportedly been on United’s radar for a year. Manchester United have been linked with the player in recent weeks.
