Barcelona are considering an offer for Leicester City’s Youri Tielemans as Ronald Koeman continues to overhaul his squad.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Belgian international has two years remaining on his current contract and isn’t looking to extend his stay with the Foxes.
The Catalan giant’s recent financial crisis has forced them to take a different approach in the transfer market, avoiding the expensive mistakes they made with Philippe Coutinho and Antoine Griezmann.
Tielemans quickly became part of Brendan Rodgers’ leadership group at Leicester, commanding the respect of his peers with his intelligence and maturity.
Tielemans started his career at Anderlecht, making his debut as a 16-year-old, before joining Monaco for £22million in May 2017.
After a productive loan spell at Leicester, he joined the club permanently for a then club-record fee and quickly became a vital component of Rodgers’ side.
His thumping 30-yard strike into the top corner was all that separated the two sides after Ben Chilwell’s late equaliser was ruled out for offside.
