KRC Genk ended their season with defeat on Sunday, missing out on a European ticket in the jump-off against AA Gent. This also made it a sad farewell to some of the trendsetters who would soon be leaving the Limberger team.
After all, Genk are sure to lose some of their best players this summer. Martin Vandevoordt will finally make the move to RB Leipzig, a move that was already agreed a year and a half ago. Bilal Al-Khanous also seems unstoppable.
Al-Khanous wants to go to Germany
No one doubts that the 20-year-old playmaker will take a step higher soon, also because Genk has promised to cooperate on a transfer this summer. The only question is where the Moroccan international will end up. He recently gave a big hint himself.
Earlier this week, after being named Talent of the Year at the Professional League Awards, Al-Khanous announced his desire to work in Germany. He has already been linked with RB Leipzig and has indicated his interest. But now a new attractive option may appear.
Leverkusen is considering his arrival
according to Kicker After all, El Khanous is also on the roster of newly crowned national champions Bayer Leverkusen. They want to attract a young number ten in the summer to prepare for the possible departure of star player Florian Wirtz in the summer of 2025.
Elkhnos will not be at the top of Leverkusen’s wish list. Their priority is said to be Desiree Douy, who has already impressed at Stade Rennes this season at just 18 years old. The Khanous will not appear in the picture unless it becomes clear that this is not possible. But even then, he is not the only option being considered by Leverkusen, as Matias Sule (Juventus) and Brajan Gruda (Mainz) are also said to be in the picture.
If the transfer of Desiree Doui does not work out, the list of alternatives includes Mathias Sule (Juventus), who is worth 35-40 million euros, as well as Brajan Gruda (Mainz) and Bilal El-Khannous (Genk), who will need to transfer Desiree Doue. Similar fees.
