The Leicester City midfielder appears to be edging ever closer towards the King Power Stadium exit door following a highly successful stint with the club
Tielemans has turned down a new contract offer from Leicester City and will not be returning to the club.
The 24-year-current old’s contract is scheduled to expire in 18 months, which means Leicester may be obliged to sell their greatest asset in the summer or risk losing him on a free transfer.
According to recent sources, the 47-cap Belgium international will not be short of suitors when the market reopens. Liverpool, Arsenal, Juventus, and Real Madrid are said to have joined United in the pursuit of Tielemans, with Leicester lowering their asking price to £35 million.
Previously, the Midlands team was thought to value the technically skilled ace at over £60m, but that sum has been significantly reduced due to his contract issue.
United are now in transition under interim manager Ralf Rangnick, and a new manager is likely to come in 2022/23. And resolving the midfield may be one of the first problems for Rangnick’s replacement.
With Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, and Juan Mata all out of contract this summer, and Donny van de Beek’s future uncertain, substantial signings may be necessary.
As a result, Tielemans may be the ideal choice to come in and shore up United’s midfield options.
