Union has officially broken its outgoing transfer record with the sale of Anan Khalaili to Crystal Palace. The Brussels club will receive €28 million for the 21-year-old player.

Khalaili has signed a contract with Crystal Palace that runs until 2031. This marks an important step in his career as he makes the move to the Premier League.

Earlier this season, a transfer to Inter fell through due to issues during the medical tests, which paved the way for the move to Crystal Palace.

The transfer has garnered significant attention both nationally and internationally, confirming the active status of the transfer market.
