In a strategic move, national football figure Medhi Benatia, serving as a sports consultant at Marseille, has suggested the inclusion of Moroccan international Bilal El Khnous, currently playing for the Belgian team Genk, in Marseille’s roster for the upcoming winter transfer window.
Reports from French media have indicated that Marseille has not yet expressed a definitive interest in acquiring the Moroccan player during the upcoming winter transfer window.
Sources emphasize that Genk has set the asking price for El Khnous at €20 million as a condition for parting ways with the talented player.
Bilal El Khnous has notably secured a position in the list of the top 50 young talents in 2023, as reported by “Foot Mercato.”
It is worth noting that Moroccan international Bilal El Khnous has been delivering commendable performances this season with Genk in the Belgian league and with the Moroccan national team.
While Marseille remains deliberative about its intentions in the upcoming transfer window, the proposal put forward by Medhi Benatia adds an intriguing dimension to the potential movements in the football market.
The involvement of experienced figures like Benatia in the decision-making process reflects the club’s commitment to strategic and well-informed choices in the pursuit of enhancing the team’s performance and competitiveness.
Marseille’s supporters and football enthusiasts alike await with anticipation to see how this proposed deal could shape the dynamics of the team in the coming months.
