Juventus Send Scouts for Highly-Rated Leicester Midfielder

Juventus are searching for midfielders ahead of the summer and have expressed interest in Youri Tielemans. Some emissaries of the Bianconeri were present at the most recent European Conference League match versus PSV. The 24-year-old is also on the radar of the top Premier League clubs, though.

According to TuttoSport, the suitors could take advantage of the fact that the Belgian international is under contract with the Leicester City only until 2023. He might ask out in the summer and find little resistance from his club. After three years with the Foxes, he could push to transfer to a team that plays in Champions League.

Juventus are keeping tabs on multiple options in the role, and Tielemans figures to be one of the most expensive ones. He transferred from Monaco to England for a €45M fee in 2019. Arsenal and Manchester United are keen on him as well, the outlet informs.

According to The Telegraph, Leicester City want at least €30M to part ways with their star. The Foxes might go through a rebuild in the summer and cash in on a few of their cornerstones for the right price. The midfielder has accumulated 147 appearances since joining, tallying 24 goals and assists.

Juventus have recently been linked to Davide Frattesi, Paul Pogba, Renato Sanches and Jorginho, on top of Tielemans. The Belgian ace has mostly featured as a box-to-box during his time with the Filberts. However, he might turn into a deep-lying playmaker down the line. The Bianconeri are seeking specialists in both positions.
