Calhano?lu 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

Milan
for an initial €20 million fee, before joining

Born in Germany, Calhano?lu opted to represent Turkey at international level, from
under-16 level
onwards. He made his senior debut in 2013, and was part of their squad at the
UEFA European Championship
in
2016
,
2020
and
2024
.
Club career

Karlsruher SC
[
edit
]
Born in
Mannheim
,
Baden-Wurttemberg
, Calhano?lu began his career with
Karlsruher SC
in the
2. Bundesliga
in February 2012 after he was promoted from the under-19 team, although they were relegated to the
3. Liga
at the end of his first season. He signed a four-year deal to join
Hamburger SV
in the 2012 summer transfer window, being loaned back to Karlsruhe for another season.
[3]
In that season on loan, he helped the team win the third division and return to the second tier.
Hamburger SV
[
edit
]
Calhano?lu made his Hamburg and
Bundesliga
debut on 11 August 2013, as the team opened the season with a 3?3 away draw at
Schalke 04
. He started the match, and was replaced by
Dennis Aogo
after 74 minutes.
[4]
He scored his first goals for the club on 31 August, in a 4?0 home win over
Eintracht Braunschweig
; after replacing goalscorer
Rafael van der Vaart
in the 79th minute, he scored a minute later and then netted again with a free kick.
[5]
On 5 February 2014, Calhano?lu signed a two-year extension to his Hamburg contract, to keep him at the club until 2018.
[6]
On 20 February, he scored a 41-yard free kick, against
Borussia Dortmund
in a 3?0 win, which ended Hamburg's bad run. As he saw no defensive wall or teammates to pass, he struck a shot that swerved viciously to find the back of the net. A delighted Calhano?lu said afterwards: 'I hit the free-kick the same way I do in training all the time. I'm delighted that I pulled it off!'.

He was sent off for the first time in his career on 22 March, for his second booking in the 53rd minute of a 1?0 defeat away to
VfB Stuttgart
.
[7]
In
his only full season at Hamburg
, the team finished in 16th, and won a play-off against
Greuther Furth
on away goals to maintain their honour as the only team to feature in every season of the top flight.
[8]
Bayer Leverkusen
[
edit
]
Hamburg were initially unwilling to sell Calhano?lu to other German teams, but their purchase of
Pierre-Michel Lasogga
from
Hertha Berlin
made such an exception no longer financially viable.
[9]
On 4 July 2014, he left Hamburg for league rivals
Bayer Leverkusen
, signing a five-year contract
[10]
for a transfer fee of €14.5 million.
[11]
His actions leading up to the transfer caused some controversy, including taking
sick leave
from Hamburg; he justified the leave by saying that he was stressed by aggression from fans, including vandalism of his car. He also criticised Hamburg's director
Oliver Kreuzer
, accusing him of betrayal.
[12]
The move was later criticised by
Son Heung-min
, as a response to Calhano?lu calling his former Leverkusen teammate's transfer to
Tottenham Hotspur
"badly advised".
[13]
He made his debut for the club on 19 June, starting in a 3?2 away win at
Copenhagen
in the first leg of a
UEFA Champions League
qualification play-off.
[14]
Four days later, he played his first league game for his new club, a 2?0 win away to
Borussia Dortmund
on the opening day of
the new season
.
[15]
On 27 August he scored his first Leverkusen goal, netting his team's second in a 4?0 win in the second leg of their European play-off.
[16]
He scored his first league goal for the club on 12 September, Leverkusen's second in a 3?3 home draw against
Werder Bremen
. It was the first game in any competition that season which they did not win.
[17]
Calhano?lu was nominated for the 2014
Golden Boy Award
in October.
[18]
On 25 February 2015, he scored the only goal as Leverkusen defeated
Atletico Madrid
in the last 16 first leg in the Champions League.
[19]
However, three weeks later in the second leg, he took their first attempt in a
penalty shoot-out
and had it saved by
Jan Oblak
, as Atletico went on to win.
[20]
On 2 May, Calhano?lu opened a 2?0 home win over newly crowned league champions
Bayern Munich
, with a free kick.
[21]
He opened his second season at the club by scoring a penalty on 8 August in a 3?0 win at fourth-tier
Sportfreunde Lotte
in the first round of the
DFB-Pokal
.
[22]
Two weeks later, with a free kick, he scored the only goal of a league win at
Hannover 96
.
[23]
On 26 August, he opened a 3?0 win over
Lazio
as Bayer came back from a first-leg deficit to qualify for the
group stage
of the Champions League.
[24]
In their first game of the group stage, Calhano?lu scored twice ? including a penalty earned by a handball of his free kick ? in a 4?1 home rout of
BATE Borisov
.
[25]
He opened his
2016?17
goalscoring account on 14 September in the 2?2 home draw against
CSKA Moscow
in a Champions League group stage game ? the 50th goal in his senior club career.
[26]
On 2 February 2017, Calhano?lu received a four-month ban from
FIFA
for a breach of contract relating to his time at Karlsruher FC. He received €100,000 from Turkish club
Trabzonspor
in 2011 after agreeing to sign with the club but later extended his contract with Karslruher. Trabzonspor had initially sought repayment of the €100,000 paid as well compensation of €1 million but FIFA ruled that €100,000 and a four-month ban would suffice.
[27]
AC Milan
[
edit
]
On 3 July 2017, Calhano?lu signed a four-year contract with
Serie A
club
A.C. Milan
.
[28]
The fee was reported as an initial €20 million, rising to €24 million.
[29]
He was assigned the club's prestigious
number 10 jersey
, previously owned by the likes of
Gianni Rivera
,
Ruud Gullit
,
Dejan Savi?evi?
,
Zvonimir Boban
,
Rui Costa
,
Clarence Seedorf
and
Keisuke Honda
.
[30]
He made his
Rossoneri
competitive debut a month later in the second leg of the Europa League third qualifying round, replacing
Suso
for the final 25 minutes of a 2?0 win (3?0 aggregate) over
Universitatea Craiova
at the
San Siro
.
[31]
He scored his first goal for Milan in a 5?1 away win against
Austria Wien
in the group stage on 14 September, also providing two assists.
[32]
Domestically, Calhano?lu made his league debut on 20 August, playing the full 90 minutes of a 3?0 win at
Crotone
.
[33]
He was sent off in a 2?0 home loss to
Roma
on 1 October, earning a second yellow card for a foul on
Radja Nainggolan
.
[34]
Calhano?lu scored his first league goal on 25 October in a 4?1 win at
Chievo
, becoming the first Turk to net in Serie A since
Emre Belozo?lu
in 2003.
[35]
Inter Milan
[
edit
]
On 22 June 2021, Calhano?lu signed a three-year contract with Serie A club
Inter Milan
, the city-rival of his previous club, on a free transfer.
[36]
Calhano?lu scored and assisted a goal on his Inter Milan debut, a 4?0 win over
Genoa
on the opening day of the
2021?22 Serie A
season.
[37]
He went on to score seven goals and notch twelve assists in the league, and scored in the
Coppa Italia final
victory against
Juventus
, but it was his former team Milan that went on to lift the league title. On 4 October 2022, he scored his first Champions League goal with Inter in a 1?0 win over
Barcelona
.
[38]
On 14 March 2023, he was named Player of the Match in the Champions League round of 16 second leg away match against
Porto
, which ended in a goalless draw and qualification to the quarter-final for the first time in twelve years for Inter Milan, by winning 1?0 on aggregate.
[39]
On 5 June 2023, he agreed to extend his contract with
Inter Milan
for another 4 years, lasting until 2027.
[40]
On 4 November 2023, he scored his tenth consecutive penalty in a 2?1 away victory over
Atalanta
, only fewer than
Romelu Lukaku
with 14; in addition, he managed to equal
Sukru Gulesin
's record as the highest Turkish scorer in Serie A with 36 goals.
[41]
International career
[
edit
]
It's thanks to the Germans that I became a footballer. But playing for the Turkish national team is an honour. I want to be Turkey's
Mesut Ozil
.
? Calhano?lu explaining his decision to represent Turkey to
Milliyet
.
[42]
Born in Germany, Calhano?lu opted to play for Turkey, qualifying for them through his family's origins in
Trabzon
.
[3]
He played for the country at youth international level, including the
2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup
on home soil.
[3]
Turkey reached the last 16 before elimination by
France
. In their second group game on 28 June, Calhano?lu scored Turkey's equaliser in a 2?1 win over
Australia
at the
Huseyin Avni Aker Stadium
in his ancestral city.
[43]
He made his senior international debut on 6 September 2013 in a World Cup qualifier in
Kayseri
, replacing
Gokhan Tore
for the last eight minutes of a 5?0 win against
Andorra
in
Fatih Terim
's first match back in charge.
[44]
He made his first start on 25 May 2014 in a 2?1 friendly win against the
Republic of Ireland
at Dublin's
Aviva Stadium
, making way for
Olcan Adın
after 61 minutes.
[45]
Calhano?lu was sharing a hotel room with national team defender
Omer Toprak
in October 2013 after a World Cup qualifying defeat to the
Netherlands
, when Gokhan Tore and an unknown armed friend entered the room, and threatened both roommates at gunpoint, ostensibly due to Tore's ex-girlfriend dating a friend of Toprak.
[46]
The incident was hidden from Turkish media, but Calhano?lu revealed it to Germany's
ZDF
television channel.
[46]
Tore did not return to the national team until October 2014, when both Calhano?lu and Toprak were injured. The following month, with both players back to fitness and form, both were left out by Terim for a friendly against
Brazil
and a
UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying
match against
Kazakhstan
while Tore remained. Calhano?lu questioned his omission from the team, while Terim defended his own decision and said that Tore deserved to be forgiven.
[46]
In June 2015, Calhano?lu and Tore reconciled.
[47]
On 31 March 2015, Calhano?lu scored his first international goal in a 2?1 friendly win away to
Luxembourg
, a 30-yard strike with three minutes remaining.
[48]
He scored two more in a 4?0 home friendly win over
Bulgaria
on 8 June, the latter being a free kick.
[

]
His first competitive goal came on 10 October, a cross which secured a 2?0 away win over the
Czech Republic
in the
UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying
event.
[49]
Calhano?lu became the first Turk to score against
England
, in the 11th match between the two nations, a friendly at the
City of Manchester Stadium
on 22 May 2016. He equalised in the 2?1 defeat.
[50]
On 22 March 2019, Calhano?lu scored the second goal of Turkey's 2?0 victory over
Albania
in their opening
UEFA Euro 2020 qualifier
.
[51]
Style of play
[
edit
]
Calhano?lu has been likened to
Mesut Ozil
, another German-born
midfielder
of Turkish ancestry.
[52]
[53]
[54]
[55]
[56]
He expressed a desire to be the equivalent of Ozil in the Turkey national team.
[42]
A set-piece specialist, he is known for scoring from
free kicks
,
[57]
and models his set-piece technique on the
knuckleball
free kicks of
Cristiano Ronaldo
and especially
Juninho Pernambucano
.
[52]
[58]
In addition to his ability to score with power and accuracy from direct free kicks with his right foot,
[59]
he is also known for his ability to
bend
the ball, and his set-piece delivery.
[60]
In December 2013,
Talksport
called him "a
playmaker
destined for the top", praising his dedication and passing ability.
[52]
Former
England
international
Owen Hargreaves
said on
BT Sport
in August 2015 that Calhano?lu's style of play would fit
Liverpool
or Tottenham Hotspur.
[61]
Despite mostly positive reception in his late teens and early twenties, in recent years, however, he has drawn some criticism as well; his pace was deemed insufficient for a winger, a position he adopted due to absence of his natural classic "number 10" attacking midfield role in the preferred formations of his teams, particularly A.C. Milan. He has also been criticized in the media for his lack of physical attributes and overall inconsistency of his performances. However, his
dribbling
, technique, passing (both short and long),
crossing
, and vision, as well as his eye for goal and striking ability from distance, have been referred to as his strengths.
[62]
[63]
Calhano?lu has also been used in deeper midfield positions throughout his career, including in a
holding role
, in which he usually operates as a
deep-lying playmaker
, as an offensive?minded
central midfielder
, known as the
mezzala
role in Italian football jargon, or even in more
offensive roles
on occasion, as a
second striker
, for example.
[64]
[65]
He is also one of the best penalty takers in the world, with a 90% career conversion rate (36 out of 40)
[66]
Personal life
[
edit
]
Calhano?lu was born in Mannheim, Germany, to Turkish parents originally from
Bayburt
, Turkey.
[67]
Calhano?lu married his childhood sweetheart Sinem Gundo?du, in Mannheim, in 2017.
[68]
The couple had alleged marital problems,
[69]
because of which Calhano?lu decided to file for divorce, but in 2018,
[70]
the couple reportedly made up.
[71]
[72]
The couple welcomed their daughter, Liya, born in Mannheim, in March 2019.
[73]
[74]
They have also two boys, Ayaz and Asil Can (born November 2023).
[75]
Muhammed
, younger brother of Hakan, is also a professional footballer.
[76]
The younger Calhano?lu was also formed at
Waldhof Mannheim
and Karlsruher SC, and went on to play in the lower divisions of Austrian and Turkish football.
[77]
Similarly, his cousin
Kerim Calhano?lu
is also a footballer, and also played for Waldhof Mannheim.
[78]
In January 2017, Calhano?lu posted a video to
Twitter
supporting
Turkish president
Recep Tayyip Erdo?an
ahead of the
2017 Turkish constitutional referendum
. Bayer Leverkusen spokesman Dirk Mesch confirmed the club discussed the tweet with Calhano?lu.
[79]
On 11 October 2019, following
Cenk Tosun
's goal in a 1?0 home win over Albania in a Euro 2020 qualifier, Calhano?lu was one of the Turkish players who participated in a "
military salute
"
goal celebration
.
[80]
[81]
[82]
That same day, he stated his open support for the
Turkish offensive into north-eastern Syria
with a post on Twitter, which drew criticism from numerous Italian football fans on social media.
[83]
He is a supporter of
Galatasaray
and in an interview he expressed his desire to play there in the future for a part of his career as he spent his childhood dreaming of winning trophies with Galatasaray.
