The transfer of Israeli winger Anan Khalaily from Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise to Italian champions Inter Milan has stalled due to medical issues discovered during his heart examinations in Milan. Inter had planned to officially announce the €25 million deal last weekend after Khalaily's arrival in Italy, but the process was halted following unusual findings in his initial cardiological tests. The Italian Olympic Committee's sports medicine institute demanded a series of more detailed and specific medical tests before granting the official fitness clearance necessary for the contract signing.
These additional tests are ongoing, and without their completion and approval, Inter cannot finalize the transfer. The club is reportedly concerned about the delay and the potential health risks, especially given their urgent need to strengthen the right wing after selling Denzel Dumfries to Real Madrid. Consequently, Inter has started exploring alternative players in the transfer market as a precaution.
If completed, Khalaily's transfer would set a new record for the highest fee paid for an Israeli player. Maccabi Haifa, which sold Khalaily to Union Saint-Gilloise for €7.5 million and retains a percentage of future sales, stands to earn approximately €3 million from this deal. The situation remains tense as all parties await the results of the extended medical examinations to determine Khalaily's eligibility to join Inter Milan.
