Youri Tielemans has admitted that he wants to play in the Champions League after Manchester United set their sights on signing a player in his position during the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils have been linked to a host of midfielders including the 24-year-old, whose contract at Leicester City expires in June 2023. His situation means that the Foxes would have to sell this summer in order to recoup some of the £35million they paid Monaco for his signature in 2019, a club-record fee at the time.
Tielemans, currently on international duty with Belgium, has opened up on the transfer speculation and told Het Laatste Nieuws : "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."
