BVB target Khalaili finds new club | OneFootball

Many clubs wanted him. Inter Milan got him. Anan Khalaili (21) of Union Saint-Gilloise will wear the black-and-blue striped shirt next season. Borussia Dortmund were also interested in the Israel international.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano delivered his trademark “Here we go” on X. Khalaili is set to join Inter for a fee of 25 million euros plus bonuses. After the Nerazzurri had already reached an agreement with the right midfielder days ago, the deal between the clubs has now followed. The mandatory medical is expected to take place within the next 48 hours.

Over the past two seasons, Khalaili has been one of the standout performers in the USG team. The quick dribbling specialist made 99 appearances in all competitions (19 goal contributions) for the traditional club from near Brussels.

Numerous clubs chased Khalaili

There was strong interest in Khalaili. In addition to Inter, Serie A sides Napoli and surprise package Como 1907 were also pursuing the USG pro. From the Premier League, Everton, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur were all keen on the 21-year-old. Borussia Dortmund had also set their sights on the gifted technician, but have now missed out.

After Denzel Dumfries (30) left for Real Madrid, the Lombard club urgently needed reinforcements on the right flank. First-choice target Marco Palestra (21) of Atalanta Bergamo preferred a move to Chelsea. Khalaili has now been chosen to fill the Dumfries void.

Since Borussia Dortmund are also likely to lose Yan Couto (24) to Como, sporting director Ole Book (40) is searching for a replacement for the Brazilian. That would leave Julian Ryerson (28) as the only option on the right wing. However, Khalaili as a replacement for Yan Couto would also have been a rather expensive option.
