Youri Tielemans has provided a fresh update on his Leicester City future amid suggestions Manchester United or Manchester City should look to target him. The 24-year-old is currently on international duty with Belgium and his contract at the King Power Stadium expires in 2023.
As such, the central midfielder could be available at a reduced price this summer. Tielemans has played 144 games for the Foxes since he joined them in a £40million deal from Monaco three years ago.
Manchester Evening News understands United are set to prioritise midfield signings during the upcoming window and Declan Rice is still viewed as target number one. However, there are concerns over a would-be fee for him and United might encounter further complications if they fail to clinch top-four.

City are well-stocked in the engine room, meanwhile, but their £100m swoop for Jack Grealish last summer is evidence of them keeping tabs on the Premier League market and the club has been linked with him in recent months. Tielemans spoke about his future during the Belgium press conference on Friday afternoon.
Speaking to Het Laatste Nieuws, he said: "I don't worry about it [speculation]. I want to get the most out of myself this season and finish as high as possible with the team.
"Of course, I want to play in the Champions League, just like any footballer. Am I ready for a European top club? I'm ready to get the best out of my career. We'll see what happens next summer, or the summer after that."
