Milan make progress in Calhanoglu contract talks.

Contract negotiations between AC Milan and Hakan Calhanoglu have reached a ‘decisive’ stage.

The Turkey international demands a deal at €5 million per season. The Serie A leaders, meanwhile, are willing to hand him a €4 million-a-year contract. However, the difference in terms could be filled with bonuses.

Inter Milan are prepared to let go of forward Ivan Perisic for a cut-price fee of €10 million.

Hazard to make Chelsea comeback?

Chelsea want to bring back Eden Hazard from Real Madrid, but they would only buy the player back at a huge discount.

The Blues sold the Belgian attacker for €100 million back in 2019 and are willing to pay only about half that transfer fee.

Recurring injuries have prevented Hazard from delivering up to the expectations ever since his move to Spain, but Chelsea are drawn by his Premier League track record and are confident he can return to his best self. [DefensaCentral]

Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana has emerged on the radar of Borussia Dortmund.

The highly-rated Cameroon international has also attracted interest from FC Barcelona, Chelsea, and Tottenham in the past.

Onana has just a year left on his current contract with Ajax and the Dutch champions do not want to lose him for free when his deal expires. [Goal]
