Newcastle United are weighing up whether to make another offer for James Maddison after Leicester City rejected the Magpies' latest bid.
Newcastle have had two big-money proposals turned down in recent days and a senior source at Leicester has stressed to ChronicleLive that the 'manager [Brendan Rodgers] made our position clear - he's not for sale'. Newcastle must now decide whether to test that stance once more after seeing a £40m bid rejected at the weekend and an undisclosed club-record offer knocked back on Tuesday.
Leicester's stance should not come as a surprise as, obviously, no club would admit that they would be open to offers for a key player. In fact the Foxes adopted a similar approach before Chelsea stumped up the £50m required to sign Ben Chilwell two years ago.
