Getafe has initiated contacts with the representatives and surroundings of Bilal El Khannouss, offensive attacking midfielder of Stuttgart, aiming for January. The next Getafe signing will be a forward who can improve Bordalás's rotation.

The Azulona board has engaged in conversations with the player's mother and agent before negotiating with the German entity, discovering that the CIES Observatory estimates his market value at €64 million.

Stuttgart's Demands and Bilal El Khannouss's Figures

The Moroccan international 22-year-old —scorer of 3 goals in 46 caps for the Morocco national team— signed a long-term contract with Stuttgart in July 2026 valid until June 2030. After initially being on loan from Leicester City and permanently acquired on May 25, 2026, the playmaker featured in 41 official matches scoring 9 goals and providing 7 assists, solidifying his position without a release clause.

Although other metrics value him at €42.5 million, both references significantly exceed the usual investment limits at the Coliseum.

LaLiga's Limits and Jose Bordalás's Needs at Getafe

Getafe's technical department must adjust any move within the registration margin imposed by LaLiga's financial control, which conditions the amortization of transfers and salaries. Despite José Bordalás's clear interest in expanding a short squad and adding a player capable of linking between lines, the board does not have the necessary leeway to undertake a direct transfer.

Likewise, Premier League clubs like Newcastle United monitored the player's situation during the past summer.

Financial Viability for Approaching the Signing in January

Getafe's board is exploring alternative routes such as loan deals with a purchase option or deferred payments to tackle the operation without breaching budget regulations. However, the lack of urgency at the German club complicates any low-cost agreement.

The Madrid executives remain cautious while looking into more affordable options in the international market. Getafe's board will assess the response from Bilal El Khannouss's surroundings during the final weeks of October 2026.

Should Stuttgart maintain their stance of not negotiating a loan, Getafe will discard the move and seek cheaper alternatives for the winter market.
