Sunderland is determined to secure the signing of Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss, and the club is currently in negotiations to lower his exit clause, which currently stands at €26m. L’Equipe journalist Loic Tanzi has reported that Leicester is also seeking a 10% future sale clause in the deal.
The competition for El Khannouss is heating up, with Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa also expressing interest in the 21-year-old player. AS Monaco is also in the mix, but reportedly waiting to offload an attacker before making a move for the Moroccan.
Sunderland’s pursuit of El Khannouss is well-documented, with Tanzi providing updates on the negotiations on his Twitter account. It seems that Leicester may need to sell the player to meet their financial obligations, opening up opportunities for interested clubs to strike a deal.
Forest, Villa, and even West Ham have been linked to El Khannouss, with rumors even suggesting that Arsenal has shown interest in the talented playmaker. As the saga continues, it remains to be seen which club will ultimately land the promising Moroccan midfielder.
