To sign him permanently: How much VfB would have to pay for El Khannouss | OneFootball

The idea that loan players will remain with their new club for a longer period is often just wishful thinking on the part of many fans. Often, there are no purchase options anchored in the loan contract or the players are simply too expensive.

However, in the case of Leicester loanee Bilal El Khannouss and VfB Stuttgart, things could look very different: The 21-year-old is currently enchanting all VfB fans with his technique and has a clause in his loan contract that allows the Swabians to virtually guarantee his signing!

According to 'Bild' information, the hurdles for this are very low. If certain conditions in the contract are met, VfB MUST sign their loan player. The tabloid even mentions specific figures for a stay.

18 million euros transfer fee plus possible additional bonuses would have to be paid by the Swabians for the midfielder. The loan fee in the summer was 3.5 million euros.

El Khannouss is currently on international duty with Morocco. At VfB, they are hoping that after the bitter loss of Ermedin Demirović, their loan player will return to Germany injury-free.
