Inter Milan’s pending acquisition of Anan Khalaili for €25 million plus bonuses would represent the largest transfer fee ever paid for an Israeli player.
The deal, agreed upon in early July 2026, is currently on hold while the 21-year-old winger undergoes additional medical tests. A verdict is expected early next week.
The deal breakdown
Khalaili, an Arab-Israeli international previously with Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise, is set to sign a five-year contract worth approximately €2 million per season. That’s €10 million in total salary commitments on top of the transfer fee, putting Inter’s total investment in the neighborhood of €35 million before bonuses even kick in.
Khalaili stands 1.83 meters tall and is capable of playing both winger and right wing-back. Inter reportedly fought off competition from Napoli and Como to land the signing. The agreement was reached between July 2 and July 9, with Khalaili traveling to Milan around July 10 for his medical examinations.
While the initial medical checks apparently went well enough to keep the deal alive, additional assessments were flagged as necessary before the club would finalize everything.
