Youri Tielemans pushing for Liverpool move

Youri Tielemans is pushing Leicester City to allow him to complete his dream move to Liverpool this summer.

The 24-year-old is a key target for Jurgen Klopp as he looks to replace Georgino Wijnaldium who left on a free earlier this summer.

That departure leaves a gaping hole in Liverpool’s midfield.

Klopp believes Youri Tielemans could be the perfect man to plug it.

He won’t come cheap however, with Mail Sport suggesting the Foxes will hold out for £64million for the Belgian star.

But Belgian outlet Voetbal 24 claim the Reds are willing to meet that valuation, with Tielemans himself pushing for a move.

Youri Tielemans may move to Liverpool quickly

They add that a transfer could be completed quickly with Tielemans making it clear to all parties that he wishes to move.

Leicester paid Monaco £32m for Tielemans back in 2019, becoming one of the Premier League’s top midfielders since his arrival.

He capped an impressive 2020/21 season with a man of the match display against Chelsea in the FA Cup final which included a stunning 30-yard strike.
