Inter Milan Advances Direct Negotiations to Sign Israeli Talent Anan Halili

Inter Milan is actively pursuing the signing of Israeli winger Anan Halili from Union Saint-Gilloise, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. Romano revealed on July 2, 2026, that direct negotiations are underway between Inter, the player’s representatives, and Union Saint-Gilloise, marking a rare case of transfer talks without intermediaries.

While Napoli has established a preliminary agreement with Halili and his agent, they have yet to reach terms with Union Saint-Gilloise regarding the transfer fee. Inter, however, is pushing hard to finalize the deal, focusing first on securing the player's commitment before negotiating with his current club. Romano described Halili as a promising talent suited for Inter’s right-wing position and emphasized the club’s determination to complete the transfer.

This direct negotiation approach is unusual in modern football transfers, where intermediaries typically play a significant role. Romano highlighted that the process is "quite closed and protected," involving only the player’s team and the two clubs. Inter’s efforts could potentially outpace Napoli’s, positioning them to secure Halili’s signature in what is becoming a competitive transfer race.

The outcome of these talks will be closely watched, as Halili is considered a valuable asset for the future, and Inter aims to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
