AC Milan playmaker Hakan Calhanoglu has insisted that his Rossoneri future does not hinge on whether the club qualify for the Champions League.
The Turkey international is currently due to become a free agent at the end of the season and has been linked with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal in recent months.
Milan are still waiting to guarantee a place in the Champions League following Sunday's goalless draw with Cagliari, but failure to qualify for Europe's top competition will not impact Calhanoglu's decision-making.
Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, the 27-year-old said: "I am very happy that we reached this point. We're fired up and want to book our spot in the Champions League.
"I always said that I wanted to get into the Champions League with Milan. However, my future does not depend on the Champions League. I am very happy to be here playing for Milan.
"At the end of the season, I will sit down with Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara to discuss my future. They are the ones in charge and I respect them."
Calhanoglu has scored four goals and assisted 10 more in 32 Serie A appearances this term, and Milan lie third in the table - one point clear of fifth-placed Juventus - before the final matchday of the 2020-21 season.
