The summer transfer market is witnessing significant interest in the Moroccan star Bilal El Khnous, as the player has caught the attention of two prominent clubs in the English Premier League. As the transfer window nears its close, the German club Stuttgart is holding firmly to the efforts of its young player, refusing to let him go easily, and emphasizing his great value within the team.
Press reports have revealed ongoing inquiries from two English clubs about Bilal El Khnous’s status with his current club, without disclosing their identities. These inquiries come as part of a close monitoring of the player’s future, in preparation for a potential official offer in the near future. Stuttgart’s management considers the Moroccan star a fundamental pillar of its ambitious sports project and has made it clear that it will not consider any offers to let him go unless they exceed 60 million euros.
This stance reflects the absolute confidence the German club places in the 22-year-old player, who joined permanently this summer after a successful loan period from Leicester City. El Khnous delivered an exceptional season in the Stuttgart jersey, participating in 41 matches across various competitions, scoring 9 goals, and providing 7 assists. The player’s value significantly rose following the impressive performances he showed with the Moroccan national team at the 2026 World Cup finals, making him a target for major European clubs.
Reports confirm that the interest of the two English clubs is still in the preliminary inquiry stage, and no official offer has been submitted to Stuttgart so far. The club’s management has also not received any departure request from the player during the current transfer market, despite Bilal El Khnous hinting to those close to him about considering the possibility of a new professional experience this summer without making a final decision. The coming weeks are expected to witness decisive developments in this matter, as any club wishing to sign the player must meet Stuttgart’s financial demands, who rely on him as one of their key stars in preparations for the 2026-2027 season.
