Barcelona sporting leaders sense Leicester City’s Youri Tielemans has agreed a deal to join another club and believe it could be Arsenal, according to Marca on Monday.

The midfielder has just over six months left on his contract, and it is likely that he will leave the Foxes at the end of this season.

His situation at Leicester has attracted attention from the La Liga side and Arsenal. The former need to find a replacement for Sergio Busquets, who is expected to leave the Camp Nou when his deal expires next June.

The 25-year-old Leicester player is identified as one of the targets for the Catalan club and their technical leaders have collected positive reports about him. In addition to this, Xavi Hernández also likes the Belgium international a lot.

However, Brendan Rodgers’ man is ‘very cold’ towards the Blaugrana’s interest. Marca say Barca feel this is because the player already has a commitment in place with another club and suggest it could be Arsenal.

Regarding the Gunners, Marca state they have been interested in Tielemans since there’s an opportunity to sign him for nothing next summer.

Marca don’t categorically state that Tielemans has agreed to join Arsenal, it’s just a hunch based on what they have heard from Barcelona sources.
