Manchester United have been dealt a big setback in their search of AC Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, according to TDFichajes .
The Turkish international, 27, was nearing the end of his deal at the San Siro.
DON'T MISS:
That, though, has gone up in flames.
The player who appears to be eager to travel has now changed his mind.
He has now agreed to extend his tenure in Milan for another three years.
Last summer, Calhanoglu was regarded as a viable replacement for star midfielder Bruno Fernandes.
In the very least, the 27-year-old may have bolstered United's depth chart.
DON'T MISS:
Since making a name for himself in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen, the midfielder moved to Milan in 2017.
Despite a few flashes of brilliance, he has struggled to leave an indelible mark in Italy.
Calhanoglu drew recognition at Leverkusen as a strong set-piece taker who could make good use of the knuckleball.
His skill has earned him comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo and Juninho Pernambucano.
This season, the Red Devils hope to sign a new striker and defender.
Though they are important additions, we cannot afford to overlook Bruno Fernandes' overdependence.
This season, the Portuguese hero leads the club in scoring and assists and has often become our ace in the bag.
As seen with Marcus Rashford, if not handled in a timely manner, it can have a significant effect on his health.
With Calhanoglu out of the picture, United will be wise to search elsewhere for a suitable replacement for Fernandes.
After all, team management is just as critical as team recruiting.
