Liverpool have been associated with a potential interest in Bilal El Khannouss. Nonetheless, it has been understood by TEAMtalk that although Liverpool had previously shown interest in him, they are not pursuing him at the moment. Liverpool had considered El Khannouss during his time at Genk but were deterred by the transfer fee Leicester City paid for him. Despite Leicester's underwhelming season, El Khannouss has emerged as a prominent player after his £21 million transfer from Genk last summer. With Leicester currently in the second-bottom position in the Premier League, they regard him as a crucial member of the team and have no plans to allow a reduced-price departure, even in the event of relegation. His contract, which extends until 2028, lacks a relegation clause, indicating that a sum as high as £40 million might be required to secure his transfer from the King Power Stadium.
