Galatasaray submit offer for Stuttgart duo

VfB Stuttgart’s Ermedin Demirović is a wanted man. Eintracht Frankfurt entered the race to sign the Bosnian forward, but Galatasaray went as far as submitting an opening offer. According to a report by Sky Germany, however, their €15m bid was swiftly rejected by the Swabian club, who are demanding a higher fee.

Additionally, Demirović reaffirmed his commitment to VfB amid persistent speculation linking him with a move away from the Bundesliga club, but with the arrival of Dženan Pejčinović, it’s unclear as to how much football the 28-year-old will get.

While it’s unreported as to whether Galatasaray have returned with a second offer for Demirović, they have their sights on Bilal El Khannouss. Fussball Transfers report that the Turkish champions have made an offer for the Moroccan, who starred with nine goals and seven assists in 41 games across all competitions last season, but VfB won’t entertain offers less than €65m.

Additionally, El Khannouss is being monitored by Premier League clubs, but the 22-year-old appears settled in Stuttgart after joining the club on a permanent basis from Leicester City for €18m.
