‘Dear Leicester City fans, after 4.5 amazing years and with a lot of thanks I’m waving farewell to this incredible club,’ Tielemans wrote in a moving video.
You hugged me with your warmth and passion the moment I stepped foot here.
“Victory and triumph, love, hope, even devastation. Together, we’ve experienced many priceless experiences. I will always be appreciative of your unflinching support.
Thank you for providing a home for my family and myself, Khun Top, board, staff, players, and supporters.

The inability to secure their survival in the final weeks of the season increased the likelihood of Tielemans leaving Leicester, and that has indeed happened. He initially joined the club on loan from Monaco in January 2019 and then signed permanently in a club record £32 million deal, impressing right from the start.
In 2021, Tielemans was presented with a new contract offer, but he delayed signing it as he hoped to join a club that could provide him with Champions League football. Arsenal has been interested in him for a long time, and Liverpool is the latest team to be associated with him.
Additionally, Tielemans’ teammate James Maddison is also anticipated to depart from Leicester.
