Xen Posted 14 March 2019 Share Posted 14 March 2019 1 hour ago, Swan Lesta said: I suspect we’ll have competition for him from Spurs and Liverpool. If that happens he may well be out of our price range unless there is a contracted option to buy for £40 million which I thought was just the price they quoted at the time. He’s been in the PL shop window since... Player power may well dictate his next move. Doesn't matter what fee Monaco accept, if the player rejects a deal then he'll remain a Monaco player. He clearly loves it here and enjoys working with the rest of our young squad (and Vardy), so hopefully we've left a good enough impression that he decides he'd rather stay here as a guaranteed starter than try his luck breaking into Liverpool/Spurs. If the alternative is him being stuck at Monaco but not in Jardim's plans, then it would suit everyone's interests for them to relax the price a bit and agree a deal with us. Perhaps wishful thinking, but I can see it playing out like that in the end. With Silva impressing in Monaco as well I think we've got a pretty strong chance of securing Tielemans long-term.

foxile5 Posted 20 March 2019 Share Posted 20 March 2019 At his age there'll be considerable retail value to him; I'm sure the ownership will have that in mind. It's a bit of a schroedinger's signing - I can both see it and not see it. Clearly enjoying it here, liked by fans and players, we can afford him - no brainer. Clearly too good for us, bags of potential, in the shop window - what have the likes of Man City/Utd or Liverpool got to lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly too good for us, bags of potential, in the shop window - what have the likes of Man City/Utd or Liverpool got to lose? Think this will be down to the player. He has stated that he would prefer to play regularly, rather than being a rotational squad player, which he probably would be at one of the top 4 clubs. This fact puts us in a strong position and it just depends whether or not Rodgers wants him and whether or not we are prepared to break a club record for his signature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPinCarolina Posted 20 March 2019 Share Posted 20 March 2019 This is as close to a completely-safe purchase as we could make at this point. Seems like we ought not to give it a second thought, if it's possible to pull off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolo Barella Posted 21 March 2019 Share Posted 21 March 2019 I'm fairly confident of signing him. He's repeatedly emphasised first team football, which rules Man City, Liverpool, and Chelsea out completely I'd say. Spurs would probably not be willing to pay up, same story for Arsenal, I don't see United going for him unless they lose Herrera and/or Fred. That leaves teams from other leagues, which could come in, but also are mostly disadvantaged in terms of the wages they can pay and the fee they could afford.
