Leicester City will do all they can to keep James Maddison if Newcastle United return with another offer in 2023.
Maddison is approaching the final 18 months of his contract with the bottom of the table Foxes and there has been no breakthrough as of yet on a new deal. However, despite recently announcing huge financial losses, Leicester would loathe to lose another key player after selling defender Wesley Fofana to Chelsea.
A senior source at Leicester previously stressed to ChronicleLive that the 'manager [Brendan Rodgers] made our position clear - he's not for sale' after Newcastle had two bids turned down for the 25-year-old. Given the form Maddison is in, though, and Leicester's predicament, you just wonder whether Newcastle may test that stance once again in January or, indeed, next summer.
