Roma are reportedly interested in signing Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.

Since joining the Foxes in 2019, Tielemans has scored 28 goals and provided 25 assists in 193 competitive appearances.

However, Tielemans will end his five-year association with the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Arsenal have previously been linked with the 26-year-old, while French giants Paris Saint-Germain are believed to be showing an interest.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Europa League finalists Roma are also in the race to sign Tielemans ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.

The report suggests that Roma are attracted by Tielemans's ability to operate in front of the backline as well as in advanced areas.

Roma general manager Tiago Pinto is also looking to make full use of the free agent market due to Roma's current economic situation.

The Giallorossi have a settlement agreement in place with UEFA until 2027, which forces them to cut costs to meet Financial Fair Play rules.

Roma are also making progress on deals to sign Lyon attacker Houssem Aouar and Eintracht Frankfurt defender Evan Ndicka when their respective contracts expire this summer.

Tielemans, meanwhile, is currently focused on Leicester's final two games of the season and is expected to make a decision once the campaign is completed.

The Belgian has featured in 35 games across all competitions this term, scoring four goals and contributing one assist.

Leicester are currently languishing in the Premier League relegation zone with three points separating them from safety.

The Foxes will move out of the bottom three if they can claim a victory over Newcastle United at St James' Park on Monday. body check tags ::
