Anan Khalaili will not be joining Inter after tests conducted in Belgium revealed a positive result, clearing him for full training and matches with Union Saint-Gilloise, according to reports from hbvl.be. The transfer fell through due to stricter regulations in Italy regarding his medical status, but Khalaili is now fully available for his current club and any future potential buyers outside of Italy.
Khalaili addressed the situation directly, stating he has returned to full training and feels prepared for the upcoming season. “I am back to training at full capacity to prepare for what awaits me,” he said. “I feel in shape and am happy to be on the pitch.” The player emphasized his continued focus on his career and his belief in his abilities, adding that he is prepared to give his all.
He highlighted his recent playing time, noting he has featured in 99 matches over the past two years, often playing the full 90 minutes. “I feel very good,” Khalaili stated, reiterating his readiness to play and train intensely. The collapse of the move to Inter comes after the club had reportedly been exploring the possibility of signing the defender.
Inter have recently been linked with several defensive targets, including Tottenham’s Cristian Romero, with reports suggesting they are considering a similar transfer structure to the deal that brought Manuel Akanji to Manchester City. Sources close to the club, as reported by Corsport, had previously indicated confidence in securing Khalaili’s signature, but the medical assessment ultimately proved decisive. Romano has reported that Romero is open to a move to the Nerazzurri, but Tottenham’s stance remains a key factor. Inter are also reportedly planning significant investment in the squad, with a potential budget of 100 million euros allocated for future transfers.
