Arsenal in discussions to sign Youri Tielemans amidst Manchester United interest

According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano on Twitter, Arsenal are currently holding internal discussions regarding a potential move for Youri Tielemans at the end of this season.

According to The Sun, Tielemans has been linked with Manchester United, but this latest update could be a transfer blow for their chances to secure his services in the future.

Tielemans is expected to leave Leicester City after rejecting an offer to extend his contract several months ago. He is in line to enter the final year of his current contract, which has made him an attractive prospect for many clubs. His side seems set to sell the midfielder this summer as a result of this situation.

Romano has revealed that three top clubs have expressed their interest in signing the Belgian international. The Gunners have been in internal talks since January, and they have even discussed a potential move with his representatives. However, an agreement is yet to be finalised, which could give a sigh of relief to the Red Devils.

Man Utd in concerns?

The 25-year-old could be considered a priority for Ralf Rangnick’s side, looking at how a midfield exodus could take place after the current campaign. After all, the likes of Paul Pogba, Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard and Nemanja Matic are set to leave for free this summer.

With four departures expected to take place, the Manchester club must prepare in advance for what lies ahead after this term. Tielemans could be one of the key pieces to solving this issue, but we are dealt with several blows after considering the latest updates.

Mikel Arteta’s side are closing in on a £40million move for the Foxes midfielder this summer. Moreover, since they are also in line to finish in the top four places in the Premier League, they are given more edge over us. That is because Champions League football would be a key factor that would determine the victors of this transfer race.

Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid are claimed to be two other potential destinations for the Belgian superstar in the future. That makes things even more difficult for the Mancunians and their pursuit to sign Tielemans.

Since CL would elude us for the next season, perhaps we may not have a chance to get our hands on the Leicester superstar after all. Then again, we must not give up just yet unless and until Tielemans firmly rejects us moving forward.

Now, let’s wait and see how this pursuit will develop in the coming months ahead of the summer transfer window. Only time will tell what lies in store for us regarding our interest in Tielemans.
