Leicester set to smash transfer record to sign Youri Tielemans | OneFootball

Leicester will reportedly have to break the bank if they want to sign Youri Tielemans permanently this summer.

Tielemans has hit the ground running at the King Power since arriving on loan from Monaco in January.

The Belgium international has already established himself as one of the first names on the team sheet and assisted Jamie Vardy in Brendan Rodgers’ first game in charge at the weekend.

Several stories have indicated that the Foxes are keen on making the deal permanent come the end of the season, but the Daily Mail have claimed that Monaco want at least €45m.

It’s claimed that the French side and Leicester have been in touch with the hierarchy in the east Midlands increasingly keen on signing Tielemans – even if the price quoted would smash their previous transfer record.
