Prior to the winter break, El Khannouss offered 6 goals and 4 assists in 20 games, but managed only 2 goals and 4 assists thereafter.

However, the Baden-Württemberg side do not intend to let El Khannouss go this summer, contrary to other rumours.

The attacking midfielder recently made headlines with a change of agent; his new agency is reportedly exploring the market.

The 22-year-old wants to take the next step in his career, but VfB Stuttgart signed El Khannouss to a contract until 2030.
