According to TEAMtalk, Leicester City are interested in signing Elif Elmas from Fenerbahce in the summer of 2019.

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers, though, will reportedly face a lot of competition for the services of the 19-year-old midfielder.

It has been claimed that Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus all are tracking the Macedonia international.

According to TEAMtalk, Elmas will cost as much as £30 million in transfer fees in the summer of 2019.

Tough task

Leicester may have recently won the Premier League title and can spend money on transfer targets, but Tottenham, City, Bayern, Madrid and Juventus all are bigger clubs than the Foxes.

Former Celtic manager Rodgers is going to find it very tough to convince the teenager to move to the King Power Stadium when European heavyweights such as Madrid and Juventus are reported to be interested in him.

Elmas is a very talented and promising young midfielder who has a bright future ahead of him.
