Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays a reports that claims the club have identified Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans as a potential addition ahead of next summer.
The 24-year-old, who joined Leicester City for €45million from Monaco, has established himself as a key player at the King Power Stadium, making a total of 99 appearances in the Premier League since he initially joined on loan in January 2019.
However, the Belgium international has just over 18 months remaining on his contract, and there is little chance of the playmaker extending his deal with the Foxes.
According to a report from Spanish publication Fichajes, Man City and Real are expected to be in the running when Leicester likely start considering bids for his signature at the end of the season, with Juventus and Bayern Munich also one of the main admirers of Tielemans.
Unless Leicester claim Champions League football against the odds, they will almost certainly part ways with Tielemans for a cut-price fee.
While both City and Real are well stocked with midfield options, the age, quality and potential of Tielemans make him an ideal target at a time when they may want to lower the average age in the centre of the pitch.
Midfield is an area they could be considering reinforcements for. Fernandinho is out of contract at the end of the season, so another body may be required in similar territory.
In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by City Chief, Many man City fans have been expressing their thoughts and opinions.
