Man Utd dangle tempting contract to Turkey star after derisory first offer Manchester United are reportedly willing to offer a five-year contract to midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu after he snubbed AC Milan’s first offer of an extension. Gazzetta dello Sport claims that the Turkey international has reached a ‘bottleneck’ over his future in Italy. Indeed Calhanoglu has entered the final year of his contract and so far, he is reportedly unlikely to extend his terms. Milan have offered him a proposal worth €3million (£2.7million) per season to stay in Serie A. However, the 26-year-old currently earns €2.5million (£2.2million) and wants more from his club. What’s more, he feels that he deserves a more lucrative contract after playing a key role under Stefano Pioli. Since the Milan head coach took over in October last year, he has only missed three Serie A games, notching eight goals and 11 assists in the top flight. As such, Gazzetta dello Sport notes that these performances are the most ‘obvious sign’ that he deserves a better upgrade. However, with the latest derisory offer from Milan, negotiations with his club have hit a stalemate. As such, United have stepped in and are now willing to offer him a contract. The deal would last five years and while the report does not share specific details, it claims Calhanoglu would earn a ‘rich’ salary. Meanwhile, the Red Devils are not the only club to have shown interest in the player. ‘Leading international clubs’, including from Spain, are monitoring his situation.
