Translated using DeepL: After a long summer full of complications, Anan Khalili is poised to take a big step forward at a new club. After it was reported last night (Saturday) on the Sports Channel that the right back/winger had agreed to terms and was on his way to a Premier League club—which had already finalized the transfer terms with Saint-Gilloise—the identity of the club has now been revealed: Crystal Palace. After a fantastic season with the Belgian club, Khalaili became a hot prospect across Europe and was already on his way to Inter Milan in a deal worth 25 million euros. However, after all parties had reached an agreement, the player failed his medical exams and the transfer was called off. From the moment the deal fell through, several English Premier League clubs were linked to Halili, who in the meantime started the season with the Belgian club. Ultimately, it was Palace that secured the player’s services. Khalaili came up through the ranks at Maccabi Haifa, made his senior debut in the 2022–23 season, and became a particularly key player in 2023–24. He then made the move abroad—partly due to his successful campaign for the Israeli NT at the U19 World Cup—for 6.5 million euros. Now, he is on his way to taking another step up. “Palace can offer him the most playing time among clubs competing in Europe,” the country’s media reported, “and coach Pierre Sage is known for working well with young players and bringing out the best in them.” Although the Eagles finished in 15th place last season, they won the Conference League. In the upcoming season, the team will compete in the Europa League.   submitted by   /u/MikeWithNoHair [link]   [comments]
