Leicester have opened talks with James Maddison over a new contract as the midfielder enters the final two years of his current deal.
As Sportsmail reported last month, Leicester are keen to ensure Maddison, the subject of two bids from Newcastle this summer, commits his future to them for the long term.
The Magpies had a £40million bid for Maddison rejected last month and it has been mooted that manager Eddie Howe is a huge admirer of the playmaker.
Maddison enjoyed a stunning campaign last term, notching 18 goals and 12 assists across all competitions - the best return of his career so far.
