With Manchester United and City linked, Youri Tielemans hints to a Leicester future

The 24-year-old has been linked with both Manchester United and Manchester City as a potential transfer target.

Following reports that Manchester United or Manchester City are interested in signing Youri Tielemans, the Belgian international has issued an updated status on his Leicester City future. In addition to being on international duty with Belgium, the 24-year-contract old's at the King Power Stadium is set to end in 2023.

As a result, the central midfielder may be available at a lower price this summer. Having joined the Foxes in a £40million deal from Monaco three years ago, Tielemans has appeared in 144 games for them.

In the upcoming transfer window, United are expected to place a high priority on midfielders, with Declan Rice still considered the top target, according to the Manchester Evening News. But there are reservations about the amount of money that would be paid for him, and if United do not finish in the top four, they may face additional difficulties.

While City have a plethora of options in the engine room, their £100 million swoop for Jack Grealish last summer demonstrates that they are keeping an eye on the Premier League market, and the club has been connected with the England international in recent months. During the Belgium press conference on Friday afternoon, Tielemans talked about his plans for the future.

Asked about conjecture by Het Laatste Nieuws, he answered, "I don't care about that." The goal for me this season is to get the most out of myself and help the club finish as high as possible in the standings.

"Of course, I'd like to play in the Champions League, just like any other footballer," says the Brazilian. Would a top European club consider me ready? In order to make the most of my professional life, I'm ready to put forth my all. It will be interesting to see what occurs next summer, or the summer following that."
