Leicester City sets Bilal El Khannouss transfer fee

Bilal El Khannouss is attracting increasing attention from several European clubs. Despite Leicester City's relegation to the English Championship, the young Moroccan international midfielder’s talent has not gone unnoticed by scouts. His technical displays this season have already made him one of the most sought-after profiles on the market.

Bilal El Khannouss, who joined Leicester last summer from KRC Genk for around €20.5 million, managed to showcase his potential in the Premier League despite a difficult campaign for his team. The 20-year-old Moroccan quickly adapted to the English top flight, featuring in 34 matches across all competitions, scoring three goals and providing five assists.

The English club’s relegation has thrown the young international’s future into doubt, especially as he has a release clause that could facilitate his departure. According to sources, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Wolverhampton, Fulham, as well as European clubs such as RB Leipzig, Napoli, Lazio, and Atalanta, are all closely monitoring his situation. Leicester, fully aware of his value, has set his transfer fee at €26 million, according to the latest reports from May 5, 2025.
