This summer, Youri Tielemans will be a free agent, with no plans to extend his contract with Leicester City and no agreement on where he will play next.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Youri Tielemans will probably leave Leicester City as a free agent this summer, when his current contract expires.
Tielemans has several options for his next move, but he hasn’t reached an agreement with anyone yet and doesn’t expect to till the end of the season.
Leicester are now in 19th place with only two games remaining in the season, an away trip to Newcastle United and a visit from West Ham United.

Leicester trail Leeds United by one point, Everton by two points, and Nottingham Forest by four points. To stay on top, they must overtake at least two of those three teams.
Given the increasing possibility that Leicester will play in the Championship next season, Tielemans’ refusal to extend his contract is unsurprising.
Arsenal have long been associated with Tielemans, but even on a free transfer, it doesn’t appear like they will return for him this summer.
Arsenal is focusing their increased resources on high-quality midfield signings in preparation for their return to the Champions League. Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo appear to be on their radar, with physicality certainly a priority.
Tielemans isn’t the same type of midfielder as those two, despite his many talents.
With Granit Xhaka’s future unknown, Arsenal may be looking to add another cheaper midfielder to their rotation. Tielemans is more likely to leave the club for the time being.
