Liverpool handed massive blow in their pursuit of World-Class No.8 midfielder
Leicester City playmaker Youri Tielemans has brushed off transfer rumours that have linked
him with a switch to Liverpool.
The Merseyside Reds are on the search for Georginio Wijnaldum’s replacement, after
the Dutch international finalised a move to PSG, and Tielemans is reportedly of interest
to Jurgen Klopp.
Tielemans has enjoyed his highest-scoring campaign with Brendan Rodgers’s side during
the 2020-21 season, when he found the back of the net on six times, including an FA Cup-winning
goal against Chelsea.
Currently the 24-year-old is on international duty with Belgium and he addressed any transfer
rumours in a pre-match conference: “That’s really none of my business right now.
Let the journalists speak.
They undoubtedly have a lot to do with that.
“But I don’t care about that.
All I can do is make sure that I am as good as possible on the pitch.
I don’t think about it.
I am focusing on the Euros.
“I don’t listen to transfer rumours.
No matter how much I am valued, it doesn’t change anything for me.
I just want to make the best Euros I can.”
Tielemans arrived at the King Power back in 2019 and has gone on to score 17 goals and
provide 19 assists in 108 games for the club.
