The anticipated transfer of Bilal El Khannouss to Crystal Palace, has encountered an unexpected setback.

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, negotiations between Leicester City and Crystal Palace have become strained, creating a significant obstacle to finalizing the deal. Although talks had reached a progressed phase, the current complications have delayed the completion of the agreement.

On his part, the Moroccan international has expressed a firm desire to leave Leicester City this summer in pursuit of a new challenge in the Premier League.

Despite the current complications, Crystal Palace remains hopeful that a positive resolution can be reached in the coming days. Additionally, the London club is believed to be facing competition from Tottenham Hotspur for the player’s signature, according to exclusive sources.

El Khannouss remains under contract with Leicester until June 2028. The midfielder, who has a market value of €28 million, earns an annual salary of €2,110,928.
