Overview
- Inter confirmed Monday that Anan Khalaili failed in-depth CONI medical checks and will not join the club, with the player returning to Union Saint-Gilloise.
- The club immediately shifted its priority to signing a right winger and identified Guéla Doué as the preferred target, but Strasbourg is reluctant to sell and values Doué above €30 million.
- Inter is also exploring several alternatives for the right flank, including Djed Spence, Nahuel Molina, Belghali and Ndoye, as sporting directors seek a starter within roughly 7–10 days.
- A separate urgent need for a centre-back remains after several departures and delayed returns, with Trevoh Chalobah considered too expensive at reported valuations above €35 million and other names like John Stones discussed.
- The CONI decision highlights how Italy’s strict medical eligibility rules can derail transfers and creates a compressed market window that may push Inter toward higher fees or quicker, lower-cost defensive options before the Donaueschingen training camp.
