The Youri Tielemans transfer saga has taken a new turn as Liverpool now reportedly lead the race to sign the Leicester City midfielder.
Tielemans is in the final 18 months of his current contract, and it has been reported that he is unwilling to sign a new one.
Should Leicester want to cash in on their star midfielder, they must therefore sell him in the next two days or, more likely, in the summer transfer window at the end of the season.
A host of clubs have been named as potential suitors, including Manchester United and Arsenal, but a new report has now claimed Liverpool are leading the race for the Belgian.

The 25-year-old has signed a long-term contract with the Reds after passing a medical and finalising personal terms.
Diaz will arrive on Merseyside once he has completed international duty with Colombia, who face Argentina in a World Cup qualifier in Cordoba on Tuesday evening.
He joins Liverpool after two-and-a-half seasons with FC Porto, where he made 125 appearances and scored 41 goals, and will wear the No.23 shirt.
The forward faced the Reds twice in this season’s Champions League group stage with the Portuguese side and had netted 14 times in 18 league runouts this term.
He had previously represented Barranquilla FC and Junior FC in his homeland before making the switch to Europe in 2019.
To date, Diaz has 31 caps for Colombia, with seven goals for his country.
