Pioli hopes Calhanoglu will remain at AC Milan
Hakan Calhanoglu will be out of contract at the end of the season. The 26-year-old has been in sublime form for AC Milan, registering five assists in his last four league games alone.

Arsenal outcast Ozil close to Fenerbahce move
Mesut Ozil hasn’t played a minute of football since March and may finally end his Gunners nightmare by confirming a free transfer to Fenerbahce in January.
The 32-year-old may have to see out the rest of his Arsenal contract until the end of the season. But from next summer onwards, he will be a free agent.
Talks over a move to Turkish giants Fenerbahce are now underway regarding a transfer, which could see him accept a £150,000-a-week salary – a £200,000-a-week drop from his Arsenal wages. [Bild, via Mirror]
PSG to rival Barcelona for Depay
Memphis Depay had agreed on personal terms ahead of a summer switch from Lyon only for Barcelona’s financial troubles to pull the plug on a potential deal. But with the winger’s contract to expire next year, talk of a Camp Nou move persists.
Rumors have since emerged claiming Lyon could accept cut-price deal for around €5m to sell Depay in the January transfer window.
But Barcelona may have some competition in the form of Paris Saint-Germain, who have made inquiries for Depay. [Mundo Deportivo, via Barca Universal]
