Summarised from 2 outlets · 4 reports · Updated 14 Nov, 15:43 · Archive

Newcastle United are being offered the chance to bid for midfielder Bilal El Khannouss in January, with Stuttgart asking around £33.3million plus add-ons for the 22-year-old. The Magpies were interested in the Bundesliga star in the summer transfer window but opted against a move at that time.

Stuttgart will not stand in his way if he wants to leave at the start of 2027. El Khannouss, a former Leicester City player, has attracted interest from several clubs. Liverpool and Leeds United are also keen on the attacking midfielder, as is Turkish Super Lig side Galatasaray, who have continued to scout him.

El Khannouss has spoken about his ambitions to play for the biggest clubs in the world. 'I'm still young, I'm 22, and I have dreams that I want to keep fighting for until they come true,' he said earlier this year. 'When you play in the Champions League or in the Premier League, it's so different. Everyone tries to attack and tries to play beautiful football. I think this is the best environment to be as a young player.'
