The debate continues regarding the future of Bilal El Khannous, the rising star of the Moroccan national team and Leicester City, after he became a target for several European clubs during the ongoing summer transfer window.

Reliable European reports have revealed that German club RB Leipzig and English club Crystal Palace have entered into official negotiations to sign the 21-year-old Moroccan player, as they have reached a preliminary agreement with him regarding the personal aspects of the contract.

However, negotiations with Leicester City remain stalled due to the high financial demands of the English club, which amount to 28 million euros, especially since the player is under contract until the summer of 2028, giving Genk a wide margin for negotiation.

Arsenal had previously shown interest in signing El Khannous before retracting from the deal for financial and sporting reasons.

With the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations 2025 set to take place in Morocco, El Khannous understands the importance of moving to a club that offers him regular playing minutes to maintain his position in Walid Regragui's squad with the Atlas Lions.

The next few days will be crucial in determining his destination, amid the competition among interested clubs and their efforts to balance the technical and financial value of the deal.
