Hakan Çalhanoğlu the player of Inter Milan started talking about this team and his experience there. Inter Milan is a team for some players they got retired there and ended their careers. Now it seems Hakan Çalhanoğlu the midfielder of Inter Milan is also interested in ending his career there.
Hakan Çalhanoğlu said, he said he even had an offer from Bayern Munich in the past summer but he decided to stay there for a longer time and get retried in Inter Milan he said it's a dream for him to retire in Inter Milan.
Currently, Calhanoglu is 30 years old, so it is the right choice for him to think about his retirement options from now on. Then currently Calhanoglu has a fairly long contract at Inter, namely until 2027. So if for example Calhanoglu retires in 2027, at that time he will be 33 years old and I think that would be the right thing to retire. Apart from that, talking about Calhanoglu's performance at Inter, I think his performance is quite good. Because right now, even though he plays as a defensive midfielder at Inter, Calhanoglu has been able to score 5 goals and 2 assists so far. This is certainly a very good achievement, so it is certain that with this, Calhanoglu will remain an important player at Inter until he completely retires from the world of football. For this reason, if for example Calhanoglu retired at Inter, it would definitely be much more memorable for him, than retiring at a club he had just joined. That's why Calhanoglu rejected the offer from Munich, because if he moves to Munich, I think if he retires in the future, it won't be very impressive.
Isn't he too young to decide to retire at 33? Many other players continue until 35, or even older, especially if they're moving to a league that's not as competitive as some of the top European ones.
If he continues to perform well, the avenues to take his career forward are still many. He can decide to play within leagues such as the MLS, Saudi Arabian League, or the Qatar League, which have become some of the favorite destinations for many veteran players at the moment. These leagues will not only offer new challenges but also better income-earning avenues before he eventually retires from active football.
On top of that, being a player with much experience and expertise, Calhanoglu can mold young players in his upcoming team's colors. Therefore, if he will extend his playing career beyond being 33 years old, then that will be a window for him to prolong the golden days and at the same time create a significant legacy in football elsewhere.
