Inter Milan has finally sealed the deal that promises to shake up the transfer market: Anan Khalaili, one of the revelations of European football, is set to join the Nerazzurri for €25 million plus bonuses, in a transfer that could reach €30 million. This signing comes after intense and prolonged negotiations with Union Saint-Gilloise, who initially rejected offers of €20 million and €23 million, but ultimately yielded to the decisive push from the Italians.
Khalaili, a 21-year-old Israeli international, was a key player for Union Saint-Gilloise last season, scoring six goals and providing six assists in 42 official matches. The young right-back, who turns 22 in September, stood out in both national and international competitions, having been instrumental in winning the Belgian Cup against Anderlecht, where he lifted the trophy after a 3-1 victory.
The arrival of Khalaili in Milan aims to fill the imminent departure of Denzel Dumfries, who is set to join Real Madrid, after Inter failed to secure their primary target, Marco Palestra, who moved to Chelsea. The Italians acted quickly to secure the Israeli player, getting ahead of other interested parties such as Napoli — who were close to reaching an agreement but did not proceed due to the need to sell players — and Como, who also expressed interest.
According to Italian sources such as Sportitalia, Tuttomercatoweb, Sky Sport Italia, and Fabrizio Romano, the agreement also includes a special bonus for the player's former club, Maccabi Haifa, which will receive 15% of any future sale and had already sold Khalaili to the Belgians in 2024 for €6.5 million. This detail could prove crucial for the financial future of the Israeli club.
The expectation is that Khalaili will undergo medical examinations in Milan as early as tomorrow or Saturday, thus accelerating his integration into the Inter squad. If everything goes according to plan, the right-back could be officially presented in the coming days, becoming one of the standout transfers of the summer in European football.
Khalaili's transfer represents not only a significant investment by Inter but also an acknowledgment of the emerging talent in Israeli football. The Nerazzurri fans are now eagerly anticipating the immediate impact that the new signing could bring to the team, at a time when preparations for the new season have already begun to pick up pace.
