Anan Khalaily's transfer to Inter Milan remains pending as he awaits a final cardiological examination required by the Italian Olympic Committee. Although all terms were agreed upon last Thursday and Khalaily was expected to be officially announced as Inter's new player, the deal is delayed due to the strict medical protocols in Italy. Khalaily will undergo a second heart test at a different institute on Monday, which will determine whether the transfer can be finalized.
The Italian protocol mandates an extended cardiac screening independent of the club's medical team, which is why this additional test is necessary despite Khalaily passing the club's initial medical checks. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, such findings requiring further investigation have become more common among athletes. If the new test is approved, Khalaily will sign with Inter; if not, he cannot join any other Italian club either.
Meanwhile, several English clubs are closely monitoring Khalaily's situation, aware of Italy's stringent medical requirements, and may seek to capitalize on the uncertainty surrounding his transfer. Until the final test results are confirmed, the outcome of Khalaily's move remains uncertain.
