Youri Tielemans is returning to AS Monaco from his loan spell at Leicester City.
Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has told The Sun that he wants Youri Tielemans to stay at the club next season, but with a number of clubs reportedly interested in the AS Monaco midfielder, it is not going to be easy.
Tielemans is returning to his parent club Monaco from a loan spell at Leicester.
The 22-year-old midfielder joined the Foxes on loan from the Ligue 1 outfit in the January transfer window.
Leicester manager Rodgers has said that he wants to keep the youngster at the King Power Stadium next season.
However, the Foxes are going to face stiff competition for the Belgium international, with Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal interested in securing the youngster’s services on a permanent contract, according to The Daily Mail.
Rodgers told The Sun: “There have been discussions. We just have to wait and see. I’d love him to stay. It depends on the player.”
According to The Sun, Tielemans will cost £40 million in transfer fees, and while Leicester may be willing to pay that, Spurs, Arsenal and United can easily match that.
Moreover, Tottenham, Arsenal and United are much bigger clubs than Leicester, and it will be a surprise if the youngster is at the King Power Stadium next season.
