Tielemans has entered the final year of his deal at the King Power Stadium and could become a free agent next summer.
Express claims that the Belgian has no intention of signing a new deal with the Foxes amid interest from clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United.
Former Liverpool No. 1 James has urged his former club to consider a move for the former AS Monaco man as he would fit Jurgen Klopp’s system perfectly.
James has suggested that Tielemans would be a brilliant replacement for Keita, whose contract also expires next summer.
He told thegamescabin.com:
He added:
James has insisted that Tielemans has what it takes to compete with the likes of Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho for a place.
However, he has cast his doubts on whether the Reds would want to break their wage structure for the midfielder as he could demand astronomical wages. He added:
He added:
Tielemans has played 166 matches for the Foxes, contributing 25 goals and 25 assists.
Naby Keita’s future at Liverpool seems to be up in the air
Naby Keita faces an uncertain future at Liverpool with his current deal expiring next summer.
As reported by Football Insider, the Reds have already opened talks with the Guinea international regarding a new deal and are confident of keeping him.
Since his move to Anfield from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2018, the Guinean international has missed a total of 66 games with injuries.
It makes pretty little sense from the Reds’ point of view as the former RB Leipzig midfielder has done little to warrant a new deal.
The reason why they want to keep him could be the £52 million fee they had to fork out for him. Hence, losing him for nothing would be a massive blow financially.
