Stuttgart: Newcastle enters the race for Bilal El Khannouss

To say Bilal El Khannouss has been attracting interest across Europe in recent weeks would be an understatement. Stuttgart are now demanding between €40 million and €50 million, or even more, before considering a transfer for the player, and an English giant has also made its interest in the Moroccan known.

It is no longer a secret! Turkish giants Galatasaray remain particularly interested in Bilal El Khannouss. The Turkish club's officials discussed the matter with Stuttgart during their meeting on the occasion of the Champions League last week. The Istanbul club could make another move.

Turkish giants Galatasaray are not the only club interested in the Morocco international. Newcastle are also monitoring Bilal El Khannouss's situation closely and could join the battle. That competition could push Stuttgart's demands even higher.

At 22, El Khannouss is establishing himself as one of Stuttgart's most sought-after attacking players. His technical quality and ability to operate between the lines have convinced several European suitors, despite his current €35 million valuation on Transfermarkt. Under contract with Stuttgart until 2030, the Moroccan attacking midfielder is therefore in a particularly strong position.
