The Belgian midfielder has a host of clubs in pursuit of him. It will ultimately be his decision at the end of the day. The city of Leicester or the city of Manchester?

We already know Youri Tielemans is on his way out of Monaco and there’s not much they can do to convince him to stay. His parent club finished a dismal 17th place in the Ligue 1 standings, just above the relegation spots.

This has left them with no bargaining chip to keep Youri in France. Now they can only sell to the highest bidder. The highest bidders or the teams in talks with the Belgian international are Leicester City, Spurs, Man United, and Man City.

Of these clubs, the Foxes and the Citizens are said to be the heavy favourites. Although, knowing football and the wicked way of the transfer window. One day the player’s on route to this club, and then the next he ends up signing for another club.

With City’s interest can Leicester still get him at the King Power

Hard to say after the Foxes got James Maddison to snub the rest of Premier League for them. Makes you think they can still pull off a steal with Tielemans.

However, the loss of a European spot has made this near impossible. City offers a manager of Pep Guardiola’s quality, Champions League football, and a chance to fight on all fronts.

The Foxes offer Brendan Rodgers, a chance to play for the Premier League title, and must join to help the club get to the Europa League. The chances of them out playing any of the top six for a spot in the UCL is a long one.

Making matters worse

What makes the efforts of Leicester’s board even harder, they must try to keep their key players at the club. Maddison is already being named as a big favourite to leave in the summer and quite the King Power for the attractive White Hart Lane.

If they can hold onto players such as Maddison, Maguire, Ricardo, and other key players, they could come away with a Your Tielemans trade.
