Leicester City transfer update: On-loan midfielder Bilal El Khannouss shines for VfB Stuttgart
Details have emerged regarding what is expected to become Bilal El Khannouss’ permanent move away from Leicester City.
The 21-year-old attacking midfielder joined VfB Stuttgart on loan on deadline day in the summer and has quickly become one of the standout performers in Germany.
His impressive form has prompted the Bundesliga side to push for a permanent transfer as soon as possible.
Since arriving in Stuttgart, the Morocco international has scored three goals in six appearances, a remarkable start that has captured the attention of fans and the German media alike.
El Khannouss himself has admitted that playing with freedom and “not overthinking things” has helped him rediscover his best form—something he struggled with during his time at Leicester.
According to German outlet Bild, the loan agreement includes an obligation to buy, with the conditions to activate it described as “very low.”
The report claims it is “almost certain” that El Khannouss will remain at Stuttgart beyond this season.
Supporters have been “enchanted” by his flair and “thrilled” by his elegant technique and creativity.
Financial details of the deal suggest Stuttgart paid around €3.5 million (£3m) for the initial loan, with a permanent fee set at €18 million (£15m).
The total package could eventually rise by a further £8 million in performance-related bonuses, depending on appearances and achievements.
El Khannouss recently sealed a 1-0 win over Heidenheim with a decisive strike before the international break.
Reflecting on his recent form, he said: “I follow my instincts. Last season, it was different—I was overthinking things.”
Despite his strong start, Stuttgart manager Sebastian Hoeness insists there is still room for improvement.
“The balance between risk and clarity isn’t always right,” Hoeness said. “There are still one or two unnecessary ball losses, but we’ll work on that with him.”
After the Heidenheim match, Hoeness added: “In the second half, you could see his quality—technically gifted, agile, with a great first touch and both feet.
He’s a real goal threat, but sometimes he wants to make things too perfect. He’s most dangerous when he stays central.”
