With Leicester City standing in a very complicated situation in the Premier League, they’re clearly more worried about staying in the top flight than concerned about the transfer window for now.

However, there’s a situation at the Foxes which is a secret to no one, and that’s the potential departure of Youri Tielemans, whose contract with the club expires at the end of the season.

Now according to Italian outlet Rete Sport (via Sport Italia), Roma are joining the race to take him from Leicester for free.

With Giallorossi director Tiago Pinto called ‘one of the free transfer specialists’, it’s claimed he’s working on reinforcing their squad with signings at no cost, and Tielemans is the ‘latest name’ on his list.

For now, there’s no information on whether Roma are in advanced talks with the midfielder’s staff, and it looks like they’re just offering him an option in Italy.

The 25-year-old is the type of player who draws big interest as a free agent, so it should be no surprise to see him having even more options in Serie A when the summer comes.
