Anan Khalaili's father, Madji Khalaili, stated that there were requests for the 21-year-old Israeli winger from several clubs, including Newcastle, Crystal Palace, Ipswich, Cagliari, Atalanta, and Napoli. Madji Khalaili also mentioned that Napoli submitted the first official bid, which was below the asking price. It was reported that Ipswich was willing to offer €30 million. Khalaili transferred to Inter from Union Saint-Gilloise for a €22.5 million fee, which could increase to €32 million with bonuses. Maccabi Haifa will receive 15% of the total fee because of a sell-on clause. The player's father described the final week of negotiations as a very difficult period during which the deal almost collapsed, adding that a personal call from Cristian Chivu assuring Anan he was the top choice was a significant factor. Union Saint-Gilloise's asking price was consistently cited as €30 million, and Napoli's rejected bid in June 2026 was reportedly for €15 million. Khalaili, who has 16 caps for Israel, joined Union in July 2024 for a reported fee of €6.5-€7.5 million. His current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €23.00m.
