Liverpool have reportedly been handed a boost in their efforts to sign a like-for-like replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum.
The Netherlands international departed Anfield on a free transfer at the end of last month, forcing Jurgen Klopp to identify potential alternatives.
Liverpool have been linked with a number of different players, including Aston Villa's John McGinn and Lille's Renato Sanches.
However, Voetbal24 has suggested that Leicester City's Youri Tielemans is pushing for a transfer to Liverpool before the end of the summer window.
The report claims that the 2019-20 Premier League champions would need to part ways with £64m to wrap up a deal over the coming weeks.
Tielemans has just two years remaining on his contract, effectively leaving Leicester in a position where they will have to consider the sale of the Belgium international if they wish to receive their asking price. body check tags ::
