What happened: Inter have agreed personal terms with Anan Khalaili, who is described as keen on the project after Napoli reached a similar understanding with him weeks ago. Any move still hinges on a club-to-club agreement with Union Saint-Gilloise, with talks between the sides ongoing.

Why it matters: Khalaili has turned into a two-club pursuit, with Inter now positioned directly against a Napoli side that has been working the deal for weeks. Napoli had earlier moved for him as a right-back target ahead of Dodô, so agreeing personal terms hands Inter leverage in a race that now comes down to which club satisfies Union Saint-Gilloise first.

What to watch: Watch whether Inter or Napoli reach a club-to-club agreement with Union Saint-Gilloise, and how far Inter move toward the €30m valuation.
