# Liverpool: Reds eyeing summer move for Youri Tielemans

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) are ‘plotting a move’ for Leicester City and Belgium midfielder [Youri Tielemans](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/youri-tielemans/) in the summer transfer window, according to a fresh rumour.**

### The Lowdown: Tielemans on the move?

The 25-year-old has enjoyed a great period at the King Power Stadium, racking up [187 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/youri-tielemans/alletore/spieler/249565) and famously scoring the [only goal](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57055571) in the 2021 FA Cup final against Chelsea.

Tielemans has continued to be a key man for the Foxes this season, appearing in [23](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/136345/Show/Youri-Tielemans) of their 25 [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) games, but he has also been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/arsenal-fc-news/tielemans-transfer-updates-leicester-city-premier-league/) with a move away in the summer.

Liverpool are one of those who have been [tipped](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-premier-league-youri-tielemans-transfer-news-updates/) to snap up the Belgian in recent times and their interest doesn’t seem to be going away.

### The Latest: Liverpool linked with signing

According to [*Football Insider*](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-liverpool-in-race-to-agree-early-youri-tielemans-deal/), the Reds are ‘plotting a move’ for Tielemans at the end of the season, with his current Leicester deal [expiring](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/youri-tielemans/profil/spieler/249565) at that point.

Liverpool see it as a deal of ‘tremendous value’, with the midfielder available on a free transfer, but they do face ‘stiff competition’ from clubs in both England and across Europe.

### The Verdict: Ideal midfield quality

There is no doubt that [Jurgen Klopp](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/jurgen-klopp/)‘s midfield needs a major rebuild this summer, with doubts surrounding the long-term worth of the likes of Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Thiago, James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

\[freshpress-quiz id=“419074″\]

At least three new midfielders need to come in and Tielemans could be the perfect signing, possessing the all-round game Klopp will want, having [scored three goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/136345/Show/Youri-Tielemans) and averaged 2.1 tackles per game in the league this season.

The [58-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/youri-tielemans/profil/spieler/249565) Belgium international is both hugely experienced and still relatively young – Brendan Rodgers has [called](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10108967/Leicester-boss-Brendan-Rodgers-calls-Youri-Tielemans-one-Europes-midfielders.html) him ‘one of Europe’s top midfielders’ – and his quality and legs could help transform Liverpool’s ailing midfield.

In truth, there aren’t many negatives regarding the Reds signing the Leicester maestro – if the move doesn’t work out, they won’t have paid a fee for his services – and he has proven over [143 Premier League outings](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/youri-tielemans/alletore/spieler/249565) that he can excel in the English top flight, unlike some other possible targets.
