Israeli footballer Anan Halaily faced a turbulent day after his transfer from Saint-Étienne to Inter Milan collapsed due to failing medical tests. The deal, which would have been the biggest in Israeli football history, fell apart despite Halaily's strong desire to join Inter. He expressed to close contacts his shock and disappointment but emphasized the need to move forward, stating, "I really wanted to join Inter, I am a bit stunned but there is nothing to do, we have to continue, it will be good."

During this difficult period, Halaily received significant support from various football figures, including Maccabi Haifa officials, Israel's youth national team coach Ofir Haim, Hapoel Ramat Gan coach Masai Dego, and his brother Iyad Halaily, who all tried to boost his morale. Halaily also posted a smiling photo on Instagram, attempting to maintain a positive outlook.

Meanwhile, Ipswich Town from the English Football League has shown interest in signing Halaily. Having officially contacted Saint-Étienne in May, Ipswich plans to accelerate negotiations and reportedly has the financial means equivalent to what Inter intended to pay. Past cases suggest that medical examinations in England are less stringent than in Italy, fueling optimism among Halaily's circle that a transfer to England could be finalized during the current transfer window.
