Liverpool are reportedly ‘preparing’ an offer for Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.
The Reds have been extensively linked with a move for the 24-year-old since the summer and the departure of previous midfield mainstay Gini Wijnaldum.
Now, the Anfield club are once again being touted as potential suitors for the impressive Belgian.
That’s according to a report from Spanish outlet El Nacional, as cited by Liverpool FC News on Twitter.

The report claims that Liverpool are reading a €40million (£33.4million) offer for the 47-cap star amidst interest from Real Madrid.
This season Tielemans – described as ‘very impressive‘ by Brendan Rodgers – has scored six times and registered three assists in 23 appearances across all competitions.

Valued at £49.5million and under contract at the King Power Stadium until 2023 (Transfermarkt), signing Tielemans for the suggested £33.4million fee would be a superb piece of business.
Believed to be craving UEFA Champions League football and with the Foxes languishing in 10th in the Premier League, Liverpool have every chance of landing the Belgian.
A cultured midfield operator with a range of quality attributes and impressive Premier League experience, Tielemans would be the ideal man to strengthen the ranks at Anfield.
