Bilal El Khannouss’s future appears set to unfold in Germany. The 20-year-old Moroccan international is on the verge of completing a move to VfB Stuttgart, following a near-definitive agreement reached with Leicester City.

The attacking midfielder is expected to sign a four-year contract and will travel to Germany in the coming hours to undergo his medical and finalize the transfer.

The El Khannouss deal has seen several twists and turns in recent weeks. Although the player had hoped to continue his career in the Premier League, none of the potential opportunities in England materialized.

Meanwhile, the player faced significant pressure to accept a highly lucrative offer from the Saudi Pro League. However, convinced that his development should be prioritized through a coherent sporting project, the Atlas Lion declined this option.

In the end, it was VfB Stuttgart, impressed by his footballing intelligence and long-term potential, that managed to persuade the player's camp and reach an agreement with Leicester. Only minor details remain to be settled before the deal is officially announced.
