Chelsea target Hakan Calhanoglu is open to leaving Bayer Leverkusen this summer if a deal can be struck, his agent has said.
The Turkish playmaker is unable to play for the rest of the season after the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld a ban he had been handed by Fifa over a transfer from Trabzonspor to Karlsruhe in 2011.
Standard Sport understands that Antonio Conte is considering a move for Calhanoglu in the summer and the 23-year-old’s agent would not rule out a possible departure in the summer.
However Bektas Demitras insisted it would be up to Leverkusen to decide whether to cash in on one of their top players.
The players on Chelsea’s transfer shortlist
"Hakan will be [under contract] at Leverkusen for three years," he told Kicker. "If an offer comes along that is fine for Bayer and which also fits with Hakan, we will do a transfer. But the final decision lies with the club."
