​According to the report, Khalaili is set to move to Inter Milan for a transfer fee of 25 million euros, with a salary of around 2 million euros per season, inclusive of bonuses. Israeli media on Thursday highlighted that former Maccabi Haifa standout Anan Khalaili, who currently suits up for professional Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise, has agreed to join the reigning Italian champions, Inter Milan. This potential deal would mark the highest transfer fee ever paid for an Israeli player.
The agreement also notes that Maccabi Haifa, Khalaili’s former club, retains a 15% stake in his contract, which translates to an anticipated windfall of roughly 3.5 million euros from the transfer. On the pitch, Khalaili had a standout 2025/26 campaign with Saint-Gilloise, featuring in 44 of 46 league matches, contributing six goals and five assists across 3,800 minutes of play, according to Ynet.
Saint-Gilloise capped a remarkable season by clinching the league title and the Croky Cup, defeating RSC Anderlecht 3-1 in the Belgian Cup final played in Brussels in mid-May. Khalaili himself made an impact in the final, delivering an assist to help push his team ahead 1-0 in the 74th minute. The celebration was captured as Royale Union Saint-Gilloise celebrated the coveted domestic double on the podium, with Khalaili among the standout performers.
Khalaili, a Haifa-born talent aged 21, stands at 1.83 meters and operates primarily on the right flank as a winger or wing-back. He is expected to arrive in Milan within the next 48 hours to undergo a medical examination as part of the transfer process. If completed, the move would elevate Inter Milan’s attack with a promising Israeli prospect who has recently proven himself in Belgian football and domestic competition.
