Overview
- Reports on Monday said Palace have agreed personal terms and reached an agreement with Royale Union Saint‑Gilloise for Anan Khalaili with fees broadly reported between about £21 million and £24 million.
- The transfer remains conditional on a medical after an earlier proposed move to Inter Milan collapsed in July when Italian authorities denied a required medical certificate following an issue found on a heart scan.
- Crystal Palace moved ahead of reported interest from clubs including Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest and Ipswich to secure Khalaili as they expand their squad ahead of Europa League play.
- If completed at higher reported figures the sale would be a record outgoing fee for Union SG and could make Khalaili the most expensive Israeli player in history.
- Khalaili is a 21‑year‑old Israel international who can play as a right winger or wing‑back, he is expected to compete for the right‑back spot at Selhurst Park and the club’s final steps are a cleared medical and a formal announcement.
