Maccabi Haifa Complicates Anan Khalaily Transfer to Inter Milan Amid Price Dispute

Italian media continue to follow Anan Khalaily's potential transfer from Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise to Inter Milan. According to Corriere dello Sport, Inter has yet to submit an official offer to Union Saint-Gilloise but remains in regular contact with Khalaily's agent. Inter is taking time to decide whether and how to begin negotiations with the Belgian club, with Khalaily currently the leading candidate for the transfer.

Union Saint-Gilloise has increased its asking price by 5 million euros, from 25 million to 30 million euros, hoping to spark a bidding war. Inter finds this price hike unacceptable and has communicated this stance to Khalaily's representatives. The Italian club expects Khalaily and his agents to actively pressure Union Saint-Gilloise to lower their demands once formal negotiations start, as the player is eager to move to Italy.

A complicating factor is that Union Saint-Gilloise must pay 15 percent of any transfer fee to Maccabi Haifa, Khalaily's former club. This financial obligation partly explains the Belgian club's raised price. Inter hopes Khalaily's involvement will help reduce the transfer cost and facilitate the deal. The situation remains unresolved as both clubs and the player navigate the negotiations.
