Barcelona Transfer News: Youri Tielemans, a midfielder for Leicester City, has apparently reappealed to Barcelona as a potential replacement for Sergio Busquets.
Tielemans, 25 years old, has been in the spotlight since last summer since his contract will end this June. Even though clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool were interested in signing him, the Belgian decided to see out his present deal.
Tielemans has been connected to the Blaugrana since the turn of the year, and is known for his quick wit and witticisms. But now they’ve chosen to divert their attention to other major targets.
Fichajes reports that Barcelona has opted to revive their pursuit of a Bosman move to capture Tielemans during the forthcoming summer transfer window. Busquets is set to leave his childhood club at the conclusion of his contract this summer, so they are presently shopping around for a long-term replacement.

In spite of this, the Catalan giants are not yet certain that they will add the graduate of the Anderlecht school to their roster for the next season. To meet Financial Fair Play regulations, they must still reduce expenses. La Liga’s top teams are similarly in the dark about Frenkie de Jong’s plans to return to Camp Nou for another season.

Tielemans joined Leicester from AS Monaco for £35 million in 2019 after a successful six-month loan. He has since helped the club win two championships. In 192 games, he has contributed 28 goals and 25 assists.
Since making his debut with Liverpool Montevideo in 2020, 20-year-old Diaz has risen to prominence as one of Uruguay’s top players. So far, he’s contributed to his team’s success by helping them win the Supercopa Uruguaya.
Mundo Deportivo reports that Barcelona and Liverpool Montevideo have agreed to an €8 million summer transfer fee for Diaz. The Catalan club would want to add the Uruguayan to their “B” squad initially.
