After joining VfB Stuttgart on loan from Leicester City last summer, Bilal El Khannouss’ move to the Bundesliga side has now been made permanent.
The deal included an obligation to buy, which has been triggered after the 21-year-old reached the required number of appearances.
“All the conditions have now been met. We’re delighted that we’ve been able to tie Bilal permanently to VfB,” confirmed Stuttgart sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth in an interview with Sport Bild.
In addition to the initial loan fee, Stuttgart will now pay a further €15 million, taking the total cost of the deal to just under €20 million.
El Khannouss has signed a contract with the Bundesliga outfit that runs until the summer of 2030.
