Real Madrid has discovered a less expensive alternative to England midfielder Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund. Goal reported that the Spanish and European champions have identified midfielder Youri Tielemans of Leicester City as a less expensive alternative to the Liverpool target.
In the middle of the field, Real Madrid’s top priority is still Jude Bellingham, but the England international is a highly sought-after player. The Borussia Dortmund star has attracted the attention of Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City, among others.
Naturally, Real Madrid is worried that they might not get the 19-year-old because Borussia Dortmund might want a lot for their expensive assets. As a result, Los Blancos have considered Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans as an alternative if they are unsuccessful in acquiring Bellingham.
The Belgium international’s contract at the King Power Stadium has already entered its final year, so it appears unlikely that he will sign a new one. As a result, the former AS Monaco midfielder might be available for free, making him a great option for Carlo Ancelotti’s team. Last summer, Tielemans was highly anticipated leaving Leicester City and was highly regarded by Arsenal and Manchester United.
However, despite their best efforts to keep their star midfielder, Brendan Rodgers’ team now faces the possibility of losing him for nothing. In recent times, Tielemans has also been linked to Real Madrid’s archrival Barcelona, but the Spanish capital club may also get involved.
This season, Leicester City’s Belgian playmaker has assisted on one goal and scored four goals in 29 games across all competitions. Tielemans, a player who is only 25 years old, has a lot of experience playing at the highest level. He has played for Belgium 58 times and made more than 400 appearances at the club level thus far.
The Real Madrid coaching staff believes that the defender is an issue on the field, but Carlo Ancelotti continues to use him:
Dani Carvajal, a right-back for Real Madrid, is said to have received a lot of criticism because of his poor performances recently. Los Blancos players are dissatisfied with the situation and Carlo Ancelotti for continuing to select Carvajal, according to the Spanish publication El Nacional.
According to reports, club president Florentino Perez has determined that Carvajal’s best days are over and has made arrangements to sign a new right-back this summer. The Spanish giants are thought to make Real Valladolid’s Ivan Fresneda a top priority.
