Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Mannheim to a family with roots in Bayburt, Hakan grew up with football close by. He spent eight seasons in Waldhof Mannheim’s youth setup before joining Karlsruher in 2009, aged 15. His father coached him and travelled with him as his career developed.
Finding his range.
Hamburg signed him in 2012 and loaned him back to Karlsruher. He helped the club win promotion as champions before making his Bundesliga debut in August 2013. After one top-flight season in Hamburg, he moved to Bayer Leverkusen, then joined AC Milan in 2017.
A new role at Inter.
He crossed Milan to join Inter in 2021. Initially an attacking midfielder, he developed into a deep-lying playmaker. His 2023/24 season brought a league title and Serie A’s best midfielder award. In 2025/26, he contributed 12 goals across all competitions as Inter won the league and Coppa Italia.
Beyond the club shirt.
Hakan made his senior Türkiye debut against Andorra on 6 September 2013 and went on to captain the national side. Away from matches, he and Sinem Çalhanoğlu have collaborated with GLAMIRA on a jewellery collection.
