In the summer of 2023, Liverpool saw the departure of many of its midfielders and a major reshuffling of its midfield, including Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. Under Jurgen Klopp, the club has entered a new era and is now a title contender in the Premier League.
Before the opening of the transfer market this winter, there were rumors of securing a new defensive midfielder, but that speculation has largely been put to rest. Liverpool, which has one of the best midfielders in the world when injuries return, is interested in 19-year-old Moroccan midfielder Bilal El Khannouss, according to HLN.
Other clubs such as Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen are also following the young attacking midfielder from KRC Genk. On the other hand, it is also reported that it remains to be seen whether Liverpool will continue their interest after the end of the season.
The Moroccan midfielder, born in Belgium, started last season in the first team and made 33 appearances in the Jupiler Pro League. He has been a regular this season and has also started in European competitions such as the Europa League, Champions League qualifiers, and the Conference League.
He has the ability to play well in England and could be an asset at Anfield, but there is little demand for attacking midfielders at the moment. Center back is the current point of reinforcement, and it is unlikely that the Moroccan midfielder will be contacted.
It would be better to keep him as one of the players we are scouting, but is there a future for Liverpool to make a move for the 19-year-old midfielder…?
