The director of the Milan "Inter" club, Piero Ausilio, commented on the situation of Kristiano Asslani, the rumors about Istanbul's "Galatasaray" and Hakan Calhanoglu, Ademola Lookman's impending joining, the future of Marcus Thuram, Yann Sommer, and the "Gala" team, as well as Denzel Dumfries and "Barcelona":

"We informed K. Asslani that he should look for a new team.”

"We spoke with the Turkish team about H. Calhanoglu and we again realized that we cannot reach an agreement.

They tried, but only to a point. There are no issues with Hakan and the "Inter" club.”

"We made an offer for A. Lookman, we like him.

We have a good relationship with the "Atalanta" team, but we will not get involved in a lengthy contract situation, as we have our own project.”

"M. Thuram will not be sold this summer. There are absolutely no chances.”

"Y. Sommer was not close to moving to the "Gala" team. There was nothing concrete; he is our goalkeeper and I hope he stays.”

"We did not receive any formal offer from the "Barcelona" team for D. Dumfries.

There is a buyout for this Dutchman, that is true... But it will soon expire and we will continue to move forward with him.”

31-year-old Hakan Calhanoglu scored 38 goals in 182 matches for Milan "Inter".
