Anan Khalaili’s agent says the transfer to Inter does not happen despite the player viewing the Italian club as his “first choice.” The agent explains that the negotiations end without an agreement and recounts that it took only a very short time to reach the outcome that the deal would not proceed.

Yahoo Sports and Football Italia both report the agent’s account of events surrounding the attempted move. While the sources emphasize the “first choice” framing, they present the same core rationale: the talks do not result in a completed transfer. Both outlets then focus on Khalaili’s subsequent signing with Crystal Palace, treating it as the alternative outcome once the Inter deal fails.

Neither report provides detailed financial or contractual figures in the excerpts provided. Instead, the emphasis is on the agent’s explanation for why the process does not conclude at Inter and on Khalaili’s eventual move to Crystal Palace.
