Football rumours: Could Leicester’s Youri Tielemans be headed to Spain?

What the papers say

Barcelona and Real Madrid are interested in signing Leicester’s Youri Tielemans if he is available next summer, Athletic reports. The 24-year-old Belgium international has attracted the interest of several clubs as he has risen to become one of the Premier League’s top midfielders during his time with the Foxes. Leicester have so far resisted any attempts to lure him elsewhere, but may find it hard to resist big-money offers from Spanish giants Barca and Real.

Liverpool are closely watching former Bournemouth winger Arnaut Danjuma after his strong start with new club Villarreal, according to Voetbal International. The 24-year-old Dutchman joined the LaLiga side last month and has so far looked impressive in five appearances, including two off the bench. Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp is said to see Danjuma as a possible future replacement for Sadio Mane.

Chelsea and Liverpool are interested in Newcastle and France winger Allan Saint-Maximin, Calciomercato says. The 24-year-old has been a bright spot amid a bleak start to the season for the winless Magpies. He was linked to a £40million switch to Everton last summer but Newcastle managed to keep him. He has made it clear, however, he would like to be at a club that wins trophies.
