The Belgium international scored a first-half equaliser in Leicester’s 2-2 draw against West Ham last time out.

Reports suggested Tielemans had rejected a new contract but Brendan Rodgers has said his midfielder is yet to turn down an offer.

But with the 24-year-old’s contract expiring in June 2023, Leicester may look to cash in on him in the summer rather than risk losing him on a free.

Juventus are favourites to land Tielemans at 3/1 with Betfair ahead of Manchester United who are priced at 4/1.

They lead Liverpool and Arsenal who are narrowly joint third favourites at 5/1.

But the bookies are also linking Tielemans with a move away from the Premier League to Real Madrid, Juventus, Barcelona and PSG.

Speaking on Tielemans’ contract situation, Rodgers said: “Firstly he has not declined anything. I have seen stories but the position is exactly the same. “He is a fantastic player and there has been no movement.

“He has worked well and until his last days here, he will always give his best.

“He is a top professional and you saw his commitment today.”

“As for any contract negotiations that’s between the agent and the club. My job is to try and improve Youri as a player.”
