Inter Prioritizes Khalaili, Remains Interested in Liverpool's Jones
Inter Milan's transfer window has been challenging so far, with missed targets like Marco Palestra and Nico Paz. Following Denzel Dumfries' departure to Real Madrid, the club is actively seeking a new right wing-back. Their current primary focus is Anan Khalaili from Union Saint-Gilloise.
Inter's Approach: Khalaili First, Then Jones
While Khalaili was previously linked with Napoli and Como, Inter appears to have an advantage. They have reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms with the Israeli international and are working to finalize a deal with Union Saint-Gilloise.
Sources suggest Khalaili is ready to commit to a five-year contract with Inter, earning approximately €1.7 million per season in base wages. However, Inter aims to keep their offer below €25 million, while Union Saint-Gilloise is seeking around €30 million for the player.
Simultaneously, Inter remains interested in Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones. Despite Jones being in the final year of his contract at Anfield, Liverpool reportedly values him between €35 million and €40 million. Inter's initial offer of around €20 million was rejected.
According to reports, Inter plans to make a renewed bid of approximately €25 million to €30 million for Jones once the Khalaili deal is successfully concluded. The player himself is reportedly open to a move to San Siro, and his desire to join Inter could be a significant factor in negotiations with Liverpool.
English Translation:
Inter Milan is prioritizing the signing of right-winger Anan Khalaili from Union Saint-Gilloise. Despite missing out on other transfer targets, the club is also unwilling to abandon their pursuit of Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones.
It has been a frustrating start to the transfer window for Inter, who missed out on signing Marco Palestra to Chelsea and Nico Paz to Como. With Denzel Dumfries having departed for Real Madrid, the club is in need of a new right wing-back, and Union SG's Khalaili has emerged as the new priority target.
Khalaili had initially been linked with a move to Napoli this summer, and recent reports indicated that Como might try to lure the Israel international to the Stadio Sinigaglia. However, Inter has reportedly secured an agreement on personal terms with the player and hopes to reach a deal with Union SG soon.
Reports indicate that Khalaili is prepared to sign a five-year contract with Inter, with base wages of around €1.7 million per season. Inter, however, is keen to avoid exceeding the €25 million mark, while Union SG's valuation is estimated at around €30 million.
Inter is also still interested in securing a deal with Liverpool for midfielder Jones. The Liverpool academy product is in the final year of his contract at Anfield, but his current club reportedly values him in the region of €35 million to €40 million.
The Nerazzurri had an initial proposal in the region of €20 million rejected. It is believed that once a deal for Khalaili is finalized, Inter will submit a new offer of around €25 million to €30 million for Jones.
The player himself is reportedly keen on the idea of a move to San Siro, and his desire to join Inter is expected to play a key role in negotiations with Liverpool.
