Barcelona 'eyeing up move to sign Leicester star Youri Tielemans' with his current deal set to expire in 2023... but cash-strapped Catalans will find it 'almost impossible' to afford his £46m price tag

Barcelona are reportedly eyeing up a move for Leicester City star Youri Tielemans – but their financial situation will make it 'almost impossible' to afford him.

Tielemans said last month that he was keeping his options open while negotiations over a new deal continue - with the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester United showing interest in the player once the window reopens in January.

Barcelona are also planning on testing the waters but his £46million price tag will make it near enough impossible to sign him, according to Mundo Deportivo.
