Storm in Inter: Calhanoglu excluded from the first team, shock message to Chivu
Inter Milan is shaken by a new internal controversy that risks upsetting the balance of the locker room. After the disappointing defeat against Fluminense, coach Cristian Chivu made a drastic decision: officially excluding Hakan Calhanoglu from the first team. The Turkish midfielder has been relegated to train with the U21 team and will no longer be able to take part in the sessions of the first team up to a new order.
According to reports from sources close to the club, Chivu’s choice would have been dictated not only by the negative performance against the Brazilians, but also by attitudes considered not very professional by the player in recent weeks. The tension between the coach and Calhanoglu would have grown silently, to explode after the recent international knockout.
But what really made the case explode was the messageshockthat Calhanoglu would have sent directly to Chivu immediately after receiving the communication of his exclusion. The exact content of the message was not made public, but according to some sports journalists close to the Nerazzurri environment, it would be hard words, full of frustration and accusation towards the Romanian technician. There are those who speak even of “betrayal” and “lack of respect”.
The company, so far, has not released any official press release, but Chivu’s choice has appeared clear and adamant. It is rumored that the club is already evaluating the options for the sale of Calhanoglu during the summer market window, with some premier league and Süper Lig clubs interested in the situation.
In the meantime, the fans are divided. There are those who support Chivu’s hard line, seeing it as a sign of authority necessary in a critical moment. Others, on the other hand, defend Calhanoglu, accusing the coach of wanting to make a scapegoat of a single player for a defeat that involved the entire group.
One thing is certain: the adventure of Calhanoglu at Inter seems to be at the terminus. As a undisputed protagonist excluded from luxury, the Turk could soon change shirt, leaving Milan with a goodbye anything but peaceful. The next few days will be decisive to understand how this sensational break will evolve.
