Inter's Transfer Tangle: Khalaili Deal Falters, Doue Emerges
12 Jul
Summary
- Inter faces transfer issues with Anan Khalaili due to physical concerns.
- Strasbourg's Guela Doue is a fallback option for Inter Milan.
- Denzel Dumfries' long-term replacement remains a priority for Inter.

Serie A champions Inter Milan are navigating a complex transfer market as they search for a long-term heir to Denzel Dumfries. The club's pursuit of Anan Khalaili from Royale Union Saint-Gilloise is currently facing significant hurdles. Although a €25 million agreement was reached, the young player's physical condition threatens to derail the transfer entirely.
Compounding these issues, Inter's ideal candidate for Dumfries' replacement, Marco Palestra, has opted for a move to Chelsea instead. With Khalaili's transfer in jeopardy and Palestra unavailable, Inter has reportedly identified Guela Doue of Strasbourg as a primary alternative. Doue, who has impressed in Ligue 1 and represented Ivory Coast, is a rising talent, though his transfer fee might exceed Khalaili's valuation.
Strasbourg appears willing to consider offers for Doue this summer, especially after failing to secure European qualification. Inter is also considering other options like Fiorentina's Dodo and Genoa's Brooke Norton-Cuffy as they aim to strengthen their squad.
