Inter Nears Agreement to Sign Israeli Winger Anan Khalaily Before Preseason Camp

Inter Milan is close to finalizing a major transfer deal to sign 21-year-old Israeli winger Anan Khalaily from Belgian club Saint-Gilloise. Following a breakthrough season at Saint-Gilloise, Khalaily is set to join one of Europe's top football clubs, with Inter eager to complete the transfer before their upcoming preseason training camp. This timing would allow Inter's coach, Christian Kivuo, to integrate Khalaily into the team's tactics and Italian football style early on.

According to reports from Corriere dello Sport, Inter has already agreed on a five-year contract with Khalaily, offering an annual salary of 1.8 million euros. The current negotiations are between Inter and Saint-Gilloise, with Inter preparing to submit a transfer offer estimated at around 25 million euros including bonuses. However, Saint-Gilloise is expected to demand 30 million euros, partly because they must pay 15% of the transfer fee to Israeli club Maccabi Haifa.

Sources close to the negotiations believe a compromise between the two clubs is achievable, likely settling on a figure between the two demands. The deal is considered a pivotal moment in Israeli football history, marking a significant step for Khalaily's career and Inter's squad development.
