Galatasaray VP Touts 5-2 Juventus Win as Proof of Project, Reiterates Calhanoglu Interest

Overview

• Kavukcu told La Gazzetta dello Sport that the 5-2 first-leg result over Juventus was not luck and reflected a deliberate multi-year plan.
• Juventus host the second leg at the Allianz Stadium with a three-goal victory needed to keep the tie alive and four to avoid a shootout.
• The executive confirmed a renewed January approach for Inter’s Hakan Calhanoglu after a previous summer bid, stating he is confident the player will join one day.
• Reports cited by Football Italia say Inter rejected offers of about €17m last summer and €25m in January, with a valuation around €30m–€35m and no willingness to sell mid-season.
• Pointing to recruitment as proof of concept, Kavukcu highlighted Victor Osimhen’s €75m permanent signing and claimed the striker’s market value has since doubled.
