In a significant move for VfB Stuttgart, it has been confirmed that midfielder Bilal El Khannouss is set to join the German club on a loan deal with a mandatory purchase clause. The transfer, which is expected to be high-valued, comes as a replacement for Enzo Millot who has left the club.
El Khannouss, who currently plays for Leicester City, is expected to fly to Germany in the next few hours for a medical check. The 28-year-old midfielder has a market value of around 28 million euros and his contract in England runs until 2028, with a buyout estimated to be around 20 million euros.
The Belgian-born player has decided to represent Morocco's national team and has previously played for the U-national teams in Belgium. His impressive performance last season, where he scored two goals and provided three assists in 32 appearances in the Premier League, has not gone unnoticed.
VfB Stuttgart has been active in the transfer market, signing five new players - Lorenz Assignon, Noah Darvich, Lazar Jovanovic, Chema Andres, and Tiago Tomas. The deal for El Khannouss, according to renowned transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri, is done. The negotiation of the loan contract with a purchase obligation was handled by VfB Stuttgart's responsible officials, although the specific names of the negotiators are not explicitly mentioned in the available sources.
Meanwhile, Nick Woltemade has joined Newcastle United, marking another departure from VfB Stuttgart. With these changes, the club is preparing for the closing of the transfer window on Monday, ensuring they have a strong squad for the upcoming season.
Additionally, it is reported that Badredine Bouanani is likely to join VfB Stuttgart, although the details of this transfer are yet to be confirmed. As the transfer deadline approaches, the excitement around VfB Stuttgart's new signings continues to grow.
