Since the start of the summer, Bilal El Khannouss has been a very coveted player. It must be said that the Moroccan international comes out of a full and successful season with Leicester. At least on an individual level. Because collectively, the Foxes failed to maintain themselves in the elite of English football and therefore went down to Championship. Inevitably, after remarkable services, Bilal El Khannouss found himself in the viewfinder of several European clubs during this transfer window. However, his situation had not changed much.
As we revealed to you a few days ago, Crystal Palace had notably shown a pronounced interest in the player. But Leicester refused all the approaches, all the offers, hoping rather to place his player in Saudi Arabia. Problem: no question for the mid -year to join the Saudi Pro League. In Germany, Stuttgart had also expressed his interest at the start of the transfer window, with an offer of around 20 million, refused by Leicester, who bought his player 23 million last summer.
Agreement between clubs
But the German club, as we explained, was to come back to the charge after having sold Nick Woltemade for 90 million in Newcastle. According to our information, Stuttgart has formulated a new offer of around 30 million euros. And this time, Leicester, who could not count on his player during the first days of Championship, ended up accepting. An almost total agreement was reached between the two clubs according to our indiscretions. There are only details left.
Bilal El Khannouss also agreed to the German club for 4 years contract. He is expected in the coming hours in Germany to pass the traditional medical examination and sign his contract. The file will have lasted long weeks, but the outcome is ultimately positive for the Moroccan international (22 selections), which will now be able to express its qualities in the Bundesliga. For his part, Stuttgart achieves a very nice blow by strengthening his midfielder.
