Bilal El Khannouss Transfer from Leicester City to Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen is showing significant interest in Bilal El Khannouss as they seek a replacement for Florian Wirtz, who joined Liverpool earlier this summer. El Khannouss made a strong impression in the Premier League last season following his move from KRC Genk to Leicester City for 22.5 million euros. Leverkusen has been tracking El Khannouss since his emergence at Genk and is considering pursuing his signing. The club is in search of a creative and intelligent attacking midfielder to fill Wirtz's role. Transfer journalist Sacha Tavolieri reported that Leverkusen has recently made inquiries regarding El Khannouss's personal terms.
Bilal El Khannouss, a Moroccan international who previously played for KRC Genk, is currently at Leicester City. After Leicester's relegation to the Championship, El Khannouss is seeking a move as he does not want to play in the second tier of English football. Bayer Leverkusen, in need of an attacking midfielder following Florian Wirtz's transfer to Liverpool, has made El Khannouss their top priority. Discussions suggest a transfer fee above 30 million euros.
Bayer Leverkusen has inquired about Bilal El Khannouss' financial expectations. The club is interested in the 21-year-old offensive midfielder who is under contract with Leicester City until 2028. El Khannouss has been on Bayer's radar since his time at KRC Genk. He joined Leicester City from Belgium last summer for 22.5 million Euros. The Moroccan international, known for his technical skills, contributed three goals and six assists in 37 appearances for Leicester City, but was unable to prevent the team's relegation from the Premier League.
