Liverpool FC are eyeing Genk’s rising star, Bilal El Khannouss, in a potential £25.6 million deal. As discussions unfold, factors like his existing contract, Genk’s valuation, and the player’s involvement in the African Cup of Nations add complexity to this transfer pursuit.

Liverpool FC are eyeing the 19-year-old talent Bilal El Khannouss from Genk, with interest from Rijoblancos and Bayer Leverkusen.
