Anan Khalaili signs with Crystal Palace after Inter Milan deal fails
Israeli footballer Anan Khalaili has signed with Premier League club Crystal Palace after a failed transfer to Inter Milan. The deal with the Italian club collapsed due to strict medical fitness protocols required by CONI, which prevented the player from passing the necessary sports suitability tests.
Khalaili's agent, Boaz Goren, noted a significant discrepancy between medical standards, stating that while the Italian protocols halted the move, Crystal Palace medical staff cleared the player in less than two minutes after reviewing his documentation. Goren mentioned that although Inter Milan was the player's preferred destination due to their tactical system, the situation has been accepted and the player is moving forward with his new contract in England.
