Juventus are looking to rival Manchester United for the signing of Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.
Tielemans’ contract at Leicester City is due to expire at the end of the season. After failing to secure a move in the summer, Tielemans could join a European club on a pre-contract deal in the January transfer window.
According to Transfers, Manchester United are considering signing the Belgian in January, but will now face competition from Juventus.
According to Calcio Mercato (via TEAMtalk), Juventus are looking to take advantage of Tielemans’ contractual situation and sign the midfielder.

The report states that the Italian club has already been in contact to get ahead of the competition.
Arsenal and Liverpool are also reportedly in the running to sign him, and if he becomes available for free next summer, a host of clubs will be fighting for his signature.
That’s why clubs like Juventus and Manchester United will be looking to make their move in January, before Tielemans gets plenty of offers from various clubs over the summer.
Manchester United may find it difficult to attract Tielemans to the club, unless he qualifies for the Champions League after missing out last season.
