Brendan Rodgers planning for next season at Leicester City without Youri Tielemans

Brendan Rodgers has given the clearest indication yet that Youri Tielemans could leave Leicester this summer.

Rodgers has revealed he is planning for a future without the Belgium international with contract talks still unresolved.

Tielemans has been in talks with Leicester over a new deal for almost 12 months and was close to an agreement after last season’s FA Cup final triumph.

But negotiations have stalled following Leicester’s failure to qualify for this season’s Champions League on the final day of the last campaign.

Leicester do not anticipate Tielemans leaving this month but a summer exit now appears increasingly likely, when the midfielder will only have a year remaining on his contract.

Rodgers said: “You always have to [plan for life without players], that is key. You always have to be looking ahead, that’s important. 

“Youri is at an age and at a stage in his contract where he has to ensure he looks at every option. 

“I would love it to be here at Leicester, that is natural, but I understand it’s a very short career.

“Once the player is committed, focused and professional it’s never a worry for me. 

“With Youri you can see his joy of being here, he loves being here and you have to respect these guys’ careers are short. 

“If we are going to lose one we have to be ready for the next one to come in.”

Tielemans was signed from Monaco, initially on loan in January 2019, before joining on a permanent deal in the summer for £32 million.

The 24 year-old wrote his name into Leicester history last May when he scored the winning goal in the FA Cup Final against Chelsea, the club’s first ever silverware in the competition.
