KRC Genk are at the centre of attention from Manchester City and Napoli for their star Morocco midfielder El Khannouss. Both teams are paying close attention to KRC Genk.
The adolescent star recently received a spot in Morocco’s 26-man roster for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. He made his debut against Croatia in the tournament’s third-place play-off.
El Khannouss has made an amazing 18 appearances for KRC Genk so far this season in the Belgian Pro League. He contributed two assists in the process, in wins over KV Mechelen and, most recently, Club Brugge.
A new claim that surfaced in Belgian media this week suggests that Premier League champions Manchester City are among the clubs most interested in the player, continuing the Moroccan international’s rapid rise in the game after the World Cup.

KRC Genk Bilal El Khannouss Transfer News to Manchester City and Napoli
Manchester City and Napoli are emphatically following Bilal El Khannouss., an outstanding midfielder for KRC Genk.
To beat the record for the most costly outgoing transfer in Belgium, the Belgian club is reportedly planning to keep the 18-year-old on staff for “at least another year and a half.”
Charles De Ketelaere, who switched from Club Brugge to Serie A powerhouse AC Milan this summer in a transfer worth an initial €32 million, presently holds that record.
Following Julian Alvarez’s success, Manchester City and their parent business, the City Football Group, recently returned to Argentina. There has been an ongoing search for football’s next major stars.
Maximo Perrone is anticipated to sign with Manchester City soon. Some consider Perrone as a future prospect at the Etihad. There is also a perception that the 20-year-old won’t be assigned to a City Football Group team but will instead be seen similarly to Alvarez when he joined from River Plate.
