In recent weeks, reports going around have been pointing to Juventus to try to sign Thomas Meunier, who will become a free agent once his contract at Borussia Dortmund expires at the end of the season.
But as the latest rumor suggests, the Bianconeri have another Belgium international in their sights, one who is also running on an expiring contract.
According to Corriere di Torino via ilBianconero, Juventus are interested in Youri Tielemans, who had hoped to leave Leicester City at the end of the season.
The 25-year-old moved from Monaco to the Premier League side in 2019 for €45m, but his contract expires in the summer.
This season, the midfielder has contributed three goals and one assist in 15 EPL outings.
He also made three appearances in Belgium’s forgettable World Cup run, just once starting.
Juve FC says
This is certainly not the first time the old lady has linked up with Tielemans, but the coveted midfielder certainly won’t be without suitors this summer, especially after showing off his Premier League prowess.
At Juventus, the Belgian could be a replacement for Leandro Paredes, who may not stay in Turin for long, but beating the competition remains the biggest hurdle for the Italians.
