Arsenal are facing competition for \u00a340m rated Youri Tielemans as Real Madrid stand ready to pounce on the Belgian should the Gunners fail to qualify for Champions League football this season.<\/p>\n

The Leicester City central midfielder is set to leave the King Power Stadium this summer, with just one year left to run on his contract in the midlands at the end of this season and no signs that he is planning on penning a new one.<\/p>\n

This means that he will be available at a cut-price, with a fee as low as \u00a325m even being mentioned for the 24-year-old, who is valued at double that by\u00a0transfermarkt<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It has caught the attention of Arsenal, who are keen to strengthen in central midfield this summer. And, as per the Sun, \u2018there is growing confidence from the player\u2019s camp and the Emirates club that Tielemans will be an\u00a0Arsenal player next season\u2019<\/p>\n

Real Madrid in the wings<\/h2>\n

However, there is a catch, in the form of Champions League football, with Real Madrid waiting in the wings should the Gunners fail to make 4th in the Premier League table their own.<\/p>\n

And the Spanish side would have little problem convincing the Belgian to swap England for Spain.<\/p>\n

As per\u00a0Belgian football journalist Sacha Tavolieri<\/a>, Tielemans has already told those closest to him that he would prefer a move to Spain over remaining in England this summer.<\/p>\n

He claims that \u2018Youri Tielemans told those around him his preference for a departure to Spain\u2019, something which means that the likes of both Madrid sides and Barcelona will surely be taking notice.<\/p>\n

In the case of\u00a0Los Blancos<\/em>, it could be a formality, with Tavolieri adding that \u2018Real Madrid, interested, could position themselves concretely in the coming weeks\u2019.<\/p>\n

That, however, depends on how Arsenal finish the season.<\/p>\n
