Green light for the Premier League! Stuttgart put Moroccan star playmaker up for sale

German side Stuttgart have opened the door to selling their 22-year-old attacking midfielder and Morocco star Bilal El Khannouss during the upcoming winter transfer window.

Details: According to Sky Sport insider Florian Plettenberg, the Swabians’ hierarchy are ready to seriously consider official offers in the region of €40 million, including bonuses. Istanbul giants Galatasaray are keeping a close eye on the creative midfielder, but English side Newcastle United could emerge as the leading contender for his signature.

The Magpies believe the Moroccan playmaker is an ideal fit for head coach Matthias Jaissle’s tactical system, with the manager in urgent need of a creative conductor to link midfield and attack. Excellent dribbling, an unconventional vision of the game and outstanding passing ability make El Khannouss one of the most attractive targets on the European market ahead of January.

It is worth noting that Belgian club Genk academy graduate Bilal El Khannouss has made a strong impression in the Bundesliga, won Olympic bronze in Paris and helped Morocco reach the World Cup semi-finals for the first time in their history.
