Leicester City midfielder Bilal El Kanous joined VfB Stuttgart on loan at the start of the season.
The 21-year-old midfielder performed very well during his loan spell, scoring 3 assists and 2 assists. He is already an important player for the German club and they are likely to make this move permanent (h/t SportWitness).
Bilal El Kanus likely to leave the club
The player is thought to cost around 19 million euros, which the German club are willing to pay. It will be interesting to see if he can continue to impress in the coming months. There is no doubt that he is a high-quality player with a promising future. He has no intention of competing in the championship in the future. It makes sense for him to join the Bundesliga permanently.
The midfielder is very young and will develop further with coaching and experience. Regular football at the highest level will help him realize his potential. Competing regularly in the Bundesliga would be ideal for him. If he can fulfill his potential in the future, he has a good chance of joining an elite club.
Leicester exit is perfect for El Canouse
Returning to the Foxes means nothing to him.
Meanwhile, Leicester City are also hoping to sell the player and recoup some of the cost of his departure. They need to improve their team in the coming months. They will be aiming for promotion to the Premier League. They need to keep improving their team to get back to the top league. Selling the 21-year-old midfielder could increase their transfer budget.
It will be interesting to see if both clubs can come up with a deal that is beneficial for both parties.
