Leicester City star Youri Tielemans is set to sign a new contract at the club that will see him earn a ‘significant’ pay rise.
That’s according to Walfoot, who say Leicester are keen to include an £80m release clause in his new deal to ward off interest.
Tielemans is one of the undisputed stars of the show for Leicester, having established himself as a key player under Brendan Rodgers following a move from Monaco in January 2019.
He is currently tied to a deal at the club until 2023, but Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has made it clear the club want to reward the 23-year-old, who has been in excellent form this season, for his performances.
Walfoot back that up and state that Tielemans will extend his deal with the club until 2025 and earn himself a ‘significant pay rise’ in the process.
The club’s ‘true intention’ with the deal, though, is to include an £80m release clause as they plan for any potential future interest.
How close the new terms are to being agreed isn’t mentioned, but the website do state clearly that Tielemans is set to extend, so there is confidence it will happen sooner rather than later.
