Chances of Youri Tielemans staying at Leicester City

Unfortunately there is no way of knowing what will happen. Yes, the Foxes are no longer a selling team but when a player is the subject of a ridiculously high bid and suggests they want to leave, it is surely difficult for chairmen to decline for several reasons. FoL can’t envision Tielemans ‘pulling a Mahrez’: petulantly demanding his own sale. But he may politely request the switch.

Despite recent reports of Tielemans or his representatives being involved in talks for an extension on Filbert Way, Eurosport stated this week that the Belgian will wait until the Euro2020 tournament is finished, or Belgium’s competition ends, to decide his future.

This could just mean the former Monaco man is too busy with his international teammates to discuss or sign with LCFC. On the others hand, he could simply be awaiting the impressive offers he may receive from huge outfits after a hypothetically great Euros. Hopefully starman stays in Leicestershire come August, or September, but it is too early to tell. Even 50/50. If the Red Devils of mainland Europe lift the Henri Delaunay Trophy on July 11 subsequent to a Tielemans rocket from 30-yards – then it is time to panic!
