Overview
- Crystal Palace announced the signing on Saturday, August 15, 2026, and put Khalaili on a multi‑year contract reported to run until 2031.
- The fee was reported at about £21 million with further add‑ons, according to club and media accounts.
- Khalaili is a 21‑year‑old Israel international with about 16 caps who can play as a winger or full‑back and scored in Champions League group matches for Union Saint‑Gilloise.
- A proposed transfer to Inter Milan collapsed in July after Italian authorities declined the required medical clearance and Palace’s signing has been reported as remaining subject to international formalities despite the club announcement.
- The arrival is Palace’s latest under manager Pierre Sage as the club reshapes wide and right‑side options and adds a player with recent domestic and European experience who must quickly integrate ahead of a busy season.
