Maccabi Haifa Nets Record Profit From Anan Khalaily Transfer to Inter Milan

Maccabi Haifa has set a new record in Israeli football with the transfer of Anan Khalaily to Inter Milan for 25 million euros, the highest fee ever paid for an Israeli player. This deal surpasses previous records, including the 17 million euros transfer of Munas Dabbur from Salzburg to Sevilla. Khalaily was initially sold by Maccabi Haifa to Sint-Truiden for 6.5 million euros, and under the terms of the deal, Haifa will receive 15% of the profit from his subsequent sale, amounting to 2.77 million euros, plus solidarity payments totaling 3.46 million euros.

In total, Maccabi Haifa will earn approximately 9.96 million euros from Khalaily’s transfers, making it the largest financial gain from a player sale in Israeli football history. This figure exceeds the earnings from other notable Israeli players such as Daniel Peretz and Oscar Gloukh. The list of the most expensive Israeli football transfers is topped by Khalaily’s move to Inter, followed by Dabbur’s transfer to Sevilla and Gloukh’s move to Ajax.

The highest revenues generated by Israeli clubs from player sales also place Khalaily at the top, with Maccabi Haifa earning nearly 10 million euros. Other significant earnings include Oscar Gloukh and Eran Zahavi, both from Maccabi Tel Aviv, with 7.3 million and 7.23 million euros respectively. This milestone highlights the growing financial impact of Israeli players in international football markets.
