Overview
- Inter president Giuseppe Marotta said Monday that the Italian Olympic Committee refused to grant Anan Khalaili the health certificate after cardiology stress tests, ending the clubs’ reported €25m-plus-add‑ons agreement.
- Khalaili has returned to Union Saint‑Gilloise for further cardiac examinations and possible treatment and posted an Instagram Story showing him in prayer.
- Without the CONI certificate a player is not permitted to take part in official sporting events in Italy, so the decision prevents Khalaili from playing in Serie A unless he is later cleared.
- Inter have immediately explored replacements, with media linking the club to Guéla Doué and Marco Palestra and internal options such as converting Andy Diouf into a wing‑back.
- CONI’s rules are stricter than many other countries’ systems and have in past cases forced players to continue careers outside Italy, a dynamic that now shapes both Khalaili’s medical path and Inter’s urgent transfer plans.
