The season ended in Germany. But clubs are already preparing for the future, like Stuttgart. The Bundesliga team also announced good news this Monday. “Bilal El Khannouss played at VfB Stuttgart on loan from Leicester City during the 2025/2026 season which has just ended. In accordance with the agreement, the loan was transformed into a permanent transfer, the striker now being linked to the club for many years (2028, editor’s note). During his first season, El Khannouss played 41 matches for VfB Stuttgart in all competitions, scoring nine goals and providing seven assists. His performances earned him a place in Morocco’s squad for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, which will kick off on June 14, 2026 for his native country with a group match against Brazil.
Sports director of VfB Stuttgart, Fabian Wohlgemuth explained: “Bilal performed convincingly in all competitions with VfB last season and, moreover, as a young player he plays a central role within the Moroccan national team. Bilal already possesses exceptional footballing qualities and, at the same time, we see still significant development potential in him and are therefore convinced that he has not yet reached his full potential. » The adventure continues.
