Arsenal are very close to reaching an agreement for the transfer of Leicester star, Youri Tielemans, to the Emirates Stadium. The Londoners are ready to offer 40 million pounds for the services of the Belgian midfielder, but as far as the agreement is still far from finalizing. This after Real Madrid is also monitoring the Tielemans, and is ready to make a move if Arsenal fail to qualify for the Champions League next season.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is looking to bolster his midfield on the eve of the new season, and the Tielemans seem the perfect alternative to the Spaniard's requirements. "Topçinjëve" definitely need a midfielder, taking into account the fact that the future of Granit Xhaka is unclear, while Mohamed Elneny his contract expires at the end of the season.
Tielemans for his part has rejected proposals for a new contract from the club and is ready to accept offers from other teams. The "Foxes" also seem to have accepted the reality that sooner or later they will lose the midfielder, and now they want to benefit as much as possible from the sale of his card.
In addition to Real Madrid and Arsenal, Manchester United have also shown interest in the Tielemans, but the Red Devils' chances of bringing the Belgian to Old Trafford are already slim. This is taking into account the fact that United will not only not play in the Champions League next season, but also risk losing the opportunity to play in the Europa League.
Tielemans has previously been active with Anderlecht and Monaco. The footballer has never hidden his desire to play in the Champions League, and this is expected to be the main factor in determining his next destination. At the moment, it is Mikel Arteta's Arsenal leading the race.
