# Virals: Liverpool ‘preparing’ offer for Leicester City star Youri Tielemans

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/01/18/virals-liverpool-have-contacted-barcelona-defender-ronald-araujo/) are reportedly ‘preparing’ an offer for Leicester City midfielder [Youri Tielemans](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/11/03/pundit-pleads-with-liverpool-to-sign-perfect-gini-wijnaldum-replacement/).

The Reds have been [extensively linked](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/media-watch/437870-youri-tielemans-pushing-for-64m-move-to-liverpool-from-leicester) 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](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/57129634) Belgian.

That’s according to a report from Spanish outlet [El Nacional](https://www.elnacional.cat/ca/esports/liverpool-klopp-40-milions-florentino-perez-youri-tielemans_696108_102.html), as cited by [Liverpool FC News](https://twitter.com/LivEchoLFC) on Twitter.

The report claims that Liverpool are reading a €40million (£33.4million) offer for the [47-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/youri-tielemans/nationalmannschaft/spieler/249565/verein_id/3382) star amidst interest from Real Madrid.

This season Tielemans – described as [‘very impressive](https://www.teamtalk.com/leicester-city/brendan-rodgers-explains-jamie-vardy-snub-youri-tielemans-praise)‘ by Brendan Rodgers – has [scored six times and registered three assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/youri-tielemans/leistungsdaten/spieler/249565) in 23 appearances across all competitions.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £49.5million and under contract at the King Power Stadium until 2023 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/youri-tielemans/marktwertverlauf/spieler/249565)), signing Tielemans for the suggested £33.4million fee would be a superb piece of business.

Believed to be [craving UEFA Champions League football](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1498415/Youri-Tielemans-Liverpool-Man-Utd-Manchester-United-Premier-League-Brendan-Rodgers) 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](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/136345/Show/Youri-Tielemans) and impressive Premier League experience, Tielemans would be the ideal man to strengthen the ranks at Anfield.
