Hakan Çalhanoğlu ( Turkish pronunciation: [ˈhaːkan ˈtʃaɫhanoːɫu], born 8 February 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Serie A club Inter Milan. Born in Germany, he plays for and captains the Turkey national team. He is regarded as amongst the best midfielders in the world.
Çalhanoğlu began his career at German second division club Karlsruher SC in 2010 and moved to top-flight side Hamburger SV two years later, spending another season back at his first club on loan. His performance in his first Bundesliga season earned him a €14.5 million transfer to Bayer Leverkusen in 2014. He played for three seasons there, totalling 28 goals in 115 official appearances. In 2017, Çalhanoğlu signed for AC Milan for an initial €20 million fee, before joining city rivals Inter on a free transfer in the summer of 2021.
