Newcastle United are hoping that Leicester City factor in the fact that James Maddison has just one year left on his current deal with the Foxes.
United's conversation with Leicester remains open but Tottenham Hotspur also remain in the mix for Maddison. When United failed with a £50million bid last summer, there was a suggestion that Maddison could still win a new deal at the King Power Stadium.
But Leicester's relegation to the Championship has made it a tricky deal to do for the Foxes as they look to cash in to make up for the loss of Premier League prize money next season. The 15% sell on fee to Norwich City is also ramping up the price for Maddison but the valuation is steep for a player who has 12 months left on his existing deal and can leave for free next summer.
