On 14 February, Calcan joined Cherno More for the spring of the 2023–24 season, first starting mainly as a substitute, but by the end of the season he became a starter, playing a total of 14 matches, 8 matches as a starter and 6 as a substitute. He also scored 2 goals against Ludogorets and Levski respectively in 4–0 and 3–1 wins, and one assist in a 3–0 win over Lokomotiv Sofia. The following season, he started 4 matches as a starter and 2 as a substitute, scoring one goal against Hapoel Beer Sheva in the 2nd match of the 2nd qualifying round of the Conference League, but the sailors lost 1–2.
