Maddison’s form has won him many admirers as well as his first England cap, which came against Montenegro in November.

And Leicester could be forced to sell their prized asset with Maddison’s contract expiring in 2024.

That means the Foxes have one last opportunity to cash in and are demanding £50million to let him leave, report The Telegraph.

Leicester announced losses of £92.5million for 2021-22 and selling Maddison would help their financial situation.

The club have tried to tie Maddison down to a new deal but there has reportedly been no breakthrough in talks.

That could allow potential suitors to pounce when the transfer window opens.

Tottenham are believed to be keen on the England star as they rebuild following Antonio Conte’s departure.

Newcastle also want Maddison and could reignite their interest after missing out on the midfielder in January.

The Magpies also tried to sign the 26-year-old last summer but had a bid worth £45million rejected.

There is also said to be interest in the playmaker from Arsenal and abroad, so Maddison looks set to be involved in a summer transfer tussle.
