Newcastle United supporters are overwhelmingly positive about the prospect of James Maddison heading to Newcastle United. ChronicleLive understands a £50million bid has been lodged to try and lure the midfielder away from Leicester City.
A previous offer - believed to be just shy of £40million - was swiftly rejected by the Foxes over the weekend. Unsurprisingly, Toon supporters are ecstatic at the prospect of signing another England international.
Any move for Maddison would shatter the £40million transfer record shelled out to sign Joelinton in 2019. Newcastle’s Saudi-backed ownership would have snatched a star player from a direct Premier League rival - a statement of intent ahead of the new campaign.
