Bilal El Khannouss rejected move to Al-Ittihad

Sky Germany report that Al-Ittihad submitted a €40m offer for VfB Stuttgart's Bilal El Khannouss on Tuesday night. However, the Morocco international swiftly rejected a move, as he doesn't want to move to the Saudi Pro League.

El Khannouss – who joined Stuttgart on a permanent deal for €15m from Leicester City in July – scored nine goals and provided a further nine assists in 44 matches across all competitions for the Swabian side last season.
