Inter have reportedly now had two offers for Anan Khalaili rejected, as they are still nowhere near the €30m asking price set by Union Saint-Gilloise, while Galatasaray now go for Liverpool’s Curtis Jones.
The Nerazzurri fans are having a very frustrating summer, as yet another target seems to be drifting away after weeks of negotiations and drip-feed improvements in rebuffed bids.
After losing Marco Palestra to Chelsea when he was down to the details with Atalanta, then seemingly priced out of Oumar Solet from Udinese, they risk another disappointment.
Khalaili still beyond Inter’s reach
Just minutes after Sky Sport Italia announced that Inter had made an improved offer worth €23m plus add-ons for Khalaili, Belgian transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri warned that Union Saint-Gilloise had already turned it down.
They know there is no shortage of interest in the Israel international right-back, who is also wanted by Como and Napoli just within Serie A.
Sky Sport Italia claimed the original Inter proposal was just €20m plus bonus, far too low to be taken seriously by the Belgian side.
It’s a slight improvement, but still not going to break this transfer deadlock for the Denzel Dumfries replacement.
Meanwhile, reports in Turkiye from Fanatik suggest Galatasaray are looking at Inter target Curtis Jones, with Liverpool demanding €40m for the sale of a player down to the last year of his contract.
