French champions, without waiting for the summer, started team formation for the 2017-18 season - "Monaco" confirmed that they acquired 20-year-old midfielder Youri Tielemans from "Anderlecht" in Brussels. It is announced that one of the most promising young central midfielders in Europe shook hands with "Monaco" until 2022. Officially not announced, but it is believed that the Monaco team paid 25 million euros for the Belgian. Y. Tielemans attracted interest from all the biggest clubs in Europe, but the Belgian did not want to move to the biggest clubs on the continent so quickly - he chose the "Monaco" team for this season. The footballer started playing for the main "Anderlecht" team back in 2013. This season, the midfielder played 53 matches for the team of the Belgian capital, scoring 18 goals and making 15 assists. In total, Y. Tielemans played 185 matches for "Anderlecht", scored 35 goals, and became the national champion twice.
