Inter focuses on Anan Khalaili as successor to Dumfries – Everton and

Inter Milan is determined to quickly fill the gap left by the departure of Denzel Dumfries to Real Madrid. The Italian champions have submitted a formal offer to Royale Union Saint-Gilloise for right back Anan Khalaili and hope to reach an agreement quickly. The transfer is mainly motivated by Inter's desire to immediately bring back quality on the right flank, where Dumfries was a permanent fixture for years.

However, the situation surrounding Khalaili is anything but simple. The 21-year-old Israeli, who had a remarkable season at Union SG with six goals and six assists in 52 games, is openly on the radar of several English clubs. Both Everton and Aston Villa are closely monitoring developments. For Everton, however, the price of approximately 30 million euros is a threshold; the Liverpool club is struggling with a limited transfer budget and other priorities within the selection. According to English media, it seems that the player himself would like to make a move to Serie A and is already dreaming of a contract with Inter.


Union Saint-Gilloise would benefit from a bidding war between the interested clubs, but for now Inter appear to remain in control. The club sees Khalaili as a young, fast and energetic player who can play both defensively and offensively on the right side, qualities that fit well with the new trainer's system. Moreover, he already has sixteen caps for Israel, which underlines his international experience.

In the coming weeks it will become clear whether Inter can actually acquire Khalaili, or whether English clubs will revive the battle for the talented defender. With the departure of Dumfries, the importance of this transfer for Inter is great: the club wants to reoccupy the right flank at all costs with quality and running ability, just as the Dutch are used to.

The situation is interesting for Dutch fans, as the departure of Dumfries - a permanent fixture at the Dutch team - once again proves how popular Dutch internationals are at top European clubs. It remains to be seen whether Khalaili can successfully take over from Dumfries at the Italian champions, or whether there will be surprises from England.
