Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans is reportedly dreaming of a transfer to Real Madrid this summer.
The 24-year-old now has less than 18 months left to run on his deal with the Foxes and is being strongly linked with an exit amid his side's domestic struggles this term.
The likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool have all been credited with an interest in Tielemans, who recently hinted at signing a new contract at Leicester.
However, Foot Mercato claims that the former Monaco starlet has his heart set on a move to the Santiago Bernabeu, in spite of Man City initiating contact with his agent.
The report adds that Real are preparing for the future without Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in the middle, and Leicester may be prepared to let Tielemans leave for €40m (£33.6m) given his contract situation.
Tielemans has amassed seven goals and three assists from 32 matches in all competitions this season, taking his total for the Foxes to 24 goals and 22 assists in 141 matches since his initial loan move in January 2019.
