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.
Asked whether the club were in discussions with Maddison's agents, Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers said: 'I believe so, I believe they've spoken. Yeah, Jon [Rudkin, director of football] has spoken to them a number of times, yes.'
The 25-year-old's last contract renewal was in August 2020 and worth about £100,000, which pushed him closer to top earners Jamie Vardy and Kasper Schmeichel.
