Leicester City transfer news: Brendan Rodgers confident of permanent deal for Youri Tielemans despite Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United interest
Leicester City are confident they can sign Youri Tielemans on a permanent deal despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.Tielemans has quickly established himself as a popular figure at the club since signing on loan from Monaco in January, in a deal that saw Adrien Silva move in the opposite direction.2

Youri Tielemans is on loan from Monaco

The Ligue 1 side have put a 40million price tag on the midfielder amid growing speculation that Spurs and United want to hijack the move.The 21-year-old scored his first goal for Belgium last week during their 3-1 win over Russia.Brendan Rodgers said the club is pushing ahead with the move despite the departure of their head of recruitment earlier this month.2

Monaco reportedly want 40m for Tielemans

Rodgers told SunSport: The work is ongoing. Of course there is a hole in terms of the head of recruitment role.However work has been going on below that and conversations with Monaco are taking place. There are a lot of good people behind the scenes who are continuing the work. It is an important one for us because we want to strengthen in the summer.If they were to sign Tielemans for 40million it would smash their transfer record. Their previous highest fee paid was 30million for Islam Slimani from Sporting Lisbon in August 2016.
