Youri Tielemans is in talks about a new contract in Leicester City, which would place him among the top earning players within the first team and alienate the big teams who are interested in him.
The Belgian midfielder has been in outstanding form this term to help keep the Foxes in the top four throughout the Premier League campaign and to make 29 appearances in all competitions. One of the best players in the competition at the moment.
Youri Tielemans current deal expires in the summer of 2023 and Leicester City is eager to link him to a new one, with a potential value of around 100,000 euros a week, as a reward for his excellent displays. James Maddison signed a new contract in the summer that brought him to the £ 100,000-a-week mark.
The greats who have it in their sights
Youri Tielemans has caught the attention of several of the best teams in Europe, due to his great performances and the talent he has shown in one of the most important projects in England today.
Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are two of the teams that have shown interest in him, watching over him as an option to enhance their midfield area and take a leap in quality.
Other teams that have knocked on the door of the Belgian midfielder are Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, who need a profile for that position in the long term. Tielemans is a viable option as he already knows the Premier League and has shown that he can fit into any scenario.
The problem is that, with the growth of Leicester City and his new contract, everything seems to indicate that Tielemans will stay for a long time at the King Power Stadium.
