I've just heard it's happening!

Voices in head, voices from foxestalk, voices from the gutter of the internet twitter, voices from the mercury or credible voices?

Tielemans being at Leicester is an anomaly in the first place. On one hand he is one of the most promising youngsters in Europe and then on the other he was deemed surplus to requirements from a club that has nosedived off a cliff. But let's break it down a but further.

 

Monaco paid £20+ million for him 2 years ago aged 20 and on the face of it he looks like he did poorly in his first season when they finished 2nd but this season individually his stats were better but the team has bombed and he fell out with Jardim. He was loaned out as Jardim came back and tried to save them. This shows he isn't wanted, if the boot was on the other foot and we loaned out Iheanacho or Soyuncu we would be off our heads if we thought they were then worth double what we paid for them. 

 

The problem is though, Tielemans has been exceptional for us, is on the verge of being first choice for a star studded Belgian national team and has only just turned 22. He guarantees goals and assists from central midfield and if he was still at Anderlecht or at someone like Ajax and we were in for him then £40m wouldn't be as obscene as it sounds. We don't tend to stand a chance ordinarily of signing £40m rated players as they go elsewhere, nor do we ordinarily stand the chance of signing a player like Tielemans with his experience and stature at such a young age.

 

So we now are having to weigh up whether we shit ball Monaco for a player they have deemed surplus to requirements albeit not necessarily due to ability, or we realise the rarity of a player like Tielemans being within our grasp and pay the fee for him which all things considered he is probably worth. The danger if we don't is, we allow the likes of Man Utd or Spurs get their house in order and require a new midfielder where the price tag of £40m doesn't bother them. 

 

If we were to lose out on him to a club that did pay the asking price it would be galling, especially when we could afford it either straight up or from the sale of Maguire. Not to mention when we seemingly throw £55m around last summer on Ward, Ghezzal, Soyuncu and Benkovic that weren't either a priority or trusted to be regulars.

 

I hope we know what we are doing, I can't say this is sitting well with me though. The lad is liquid gold and I'd love to know what scenario or what sort of talent we would be willing to pay more than £20-30m for? Certainly a bit hypocritical when we demand obscene fees for our assets who aren't probably anywhere near as good as Tielemans.

 

Please don't balls this up Leicester.

We spent more than 20m plus add ons on Slimani and Silva so I hope we would stretch a bit further for a young player who we have already had a trial run with. 

 

But I have no idea of the financial situation currently at the club.

Came here to post the same ... but i have no clue how credible the source is but the full link is here. 

 

https://filbertway.com/2019/05/21/leicester-city-closing-in-on-top-targets-bayern-munich-and-monaco-stars-deals-can-be-completed-in-a-day-or-two/

 

I'm all out for going its a totally credible source and the journo reporting it, is a proper ITK. :P Excited!

 

Them saying that we’re open to letting Morgan leave if the right offer came in, suggests to me that they’re just making stuff up. Haven’t we just given  him a new one year deal?

 

Would love the Tielemans bit to be true though :fc: :D

Yes, which means the club is protecting itself rather than allowing the player to hold the cards. We want him to hang around another season but if a club comes for him then we will receive a fee.

I’d imagine his contract would be more than what we’d receive in a fee. He’s going nowhere imo.

I agree with the last bit - but I assume an agreement was reached whereby if a club come in for him and he wants to go then we allow it (as long as the fee matches the contract.   Circa 2.5m )
