Brendan Rodgers expects Newcastle to splash the cash again in January but says they will be wasting their time targeting James Maddison.
Mega rich Saudi-owned Newcastle, who are third, tried to sign Leicester ’s England ace Maddison in the summer with two offers totalling up to £50million. But Leicester snubbed them and intend to hold firm when the transfer window re-opens.
Ahead of hosting Newcastle on Boxing Day, City boss Rodgers assessed: “They have signed players who have improved the dynamic of the team. They’re trying to build something there, they’ll improve and get better. I’m sure they’ll strengthen their squad, and they’ll have the motivation to stay there.
