Youri Tielemans is having to wait for the green light to join Leicester City for pre-season training.

City have been trying to finalise a deal with AS Monaco and it seemed they were close as Tielemans and his agent flew into Leicester on Friday.

LeicestershireLive understands personal terms have been agreed on a four-year deal for the 22-year-old, but the agreement between the two clubs is yet to be finalised.

Tielemans has indicated he wants to rejoin City after his successful loan spell and his representatives have been expecting a deal to be done this week so the Belgium international could begin pre-season as City move to Evian in France for a week-long training camp.

However, it now seems the deal is not completely done yet as Tielemans’ agent flew back to Belgium on Saturday, although it is believed the deal will still be completed at some stage.

Tielemans is expected to be announced as a club record signing with the deal expected to be worth around £40 million, but it seems Adrien Silva is not involved in the deal .

City were looking at a cash plus player swap after Silva enjoyed a successful loan at Monaco last season, but it seems a deal for Silva will be negotiated separately.

A quote attributed to his representatives suggested Silva felt he was being disrespected to be considered a makeweight in any Tielemans deal.

It is not clear yet whether Tielemans has been allowed to join the City party, who were flying to France today and begin training tomorrow, but the 22-year-old was on standby for the green light.
