Former Manchester City player Paul Stewart has told This Is Futbol in an exclusive interview that he can see Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans joining his old side in the near future.
Tielemans had a fantastic 2020/21 campaign, scoring that incredible winning goal in the FA Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley.
He is now being linked with a move away from the King Power, with talk about a transfer to Liverpool currently doing the rounds.
Should Manchester City sell Sterling?
Would be crazy to
Time to go
Stewart, however, feels Manchester City are probably the only side who can offer the sort of money Leicester would be looking for and is now tipping the £120,000-a-week playmaker to join them.
“I can see him ending up at Man City, to be honest, with Harry Kane,” the ex-City star said.
“They’re the club that when you talk about those players, they’re the only club that can afford to pay that sort of money and pay the wages as well.”
Pep Guardiola is a fan of the player, so perhaps a transfer now or later down the line cannot be ruled out.
The Manchester City boss recently described Tielemans as a “top, top-class player” as he recalled a conversation he had with Vincent Kompany about the Belgium international.
