Barcelona and Real Madrid interested in Leicester City’s Youri Tielemans

Barcelona and Real Madrid are interested in signing Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans, according to The Athletic.

The Belgian is contracted with Leicester City until 2023 and has not yet committed his long-term future to the Premier League club. Leicester may consider selling the 24-year-old at the end of this season if they fail to reach an agreement on a new deal.

The Belgium international publicly said he is “keeping his options open” as he negotiates a new Leicester deal.

Both Barcelona and Madrid would be interested in Tielemans should he become available in 2022.
