Manchester United miss out on AC Milan's Hakan Calhanoglu?

Manchester United-linked Hakan Calhanoglu is reportedly close to extending his contract with AC Milan, forcing the Red Devils to search for a new playmaker elsewhere.

AC Milan playmaker Hakan Calhanoglu is reportedly ready to snub interest from Manchester United and pen a new deal at San Siro.

With the Red Devils said to be in the market for a new creative midfielder amid doubts over Paul Pogba's future, Calhanoglu has been tipped to complete a switch to Old Trafford.

The 26-year-old only has six months left to run on his current deal with AC Milan, and talks over an extension were believed to have hit a wall over the past few weeks.

However, Tuttosport claim that Calhanoglu is now ready to commit his future to the Rossoneri, and the midfielder's representatives will fly to Italy this week in order to finalise the details.

The report claims that Milan were initially hesitant to fork out Calhanoglu's yearly salary demand of £5.5m, but the Turkey international is ready to accept £4m per season at San Siro to stay with the in-form Milan.

Calhanoglu has banked five goals and five assists for Stefano Pioli's men in all competitions this term, with Milan currently leading the way in Serie A.
