Anan Chalili Nears Record Transfer to Inter Milan from Saint-Étienne

Anan Chalili, the Israeli winger currently playing for French club Saint-Étienne, has reportedly agreed on personal terms with Italian Serie A champions Inter Milan. According to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, significant progress has been made in negotiations between the two clubs, although no official offer has yet been submitted. Previously, Saint-Étienne demanded 25 million euros for Chalili, a fee that reportedly blocked a potential move to Napoli. If the transfer goes through at that price, Chalili's former club Maccabi Haifa is expected to receive 2.6 million euros as part of the deal. Chalili, who grew up in Maccabi Haifa's youth system, is currently participating in Saint-Étienne's preseason and scored in their first friendly match. The team is scheduled to play another preseason game against Steaua Bucharest soon. This potential transfer would mark one of the largest deals in Israeli football history.
