Hakan Calhanoglu is hoping to extend his contract with Milan, claims the Corriere dello Sport newspaper, just weeks after his departure seemed inevitable.

The 26-year-old Turkey international is tied down until June 2021, having joined from Bayer Leverkusen for €23m in the summer of 2017.

He had seemed destined for the exit, but rediscovered some form after a change of tactics under coach Stefano Pioli.

Calhanoglu has contributed five goals and one assist in 25 competitive games for the Rossoneri this season.
