The attacking midfielder has spent five seasons with in the east Midlands with Leicester, and is widely regarded as being the Foxes' most instrumental player.
The England international has made over 200 appearances in the blue of Leicester following his £20 million move from Norwich, and helped the club to their first ever FA Cup final victory in 2021, as well as victory in the Community Shield.
There have been rumours linking Maddison with a move away from the King Power for a few years now after consistent impressive seasons, but with only a year remaining on his contract, it's likely Sunday's final game of the season could be his last for the club.
There's also a very real threat that Leicester could be playing Championship football next season, with the club currently 19th in the table with just one match of the season remaining, two points from safety.
Newcastle lead the race to sign the 26-year-old currently, as the Magpies prepare for next season and what will be their first time back in the Champions League since 2003.
Eddie Howe's side will be looking to bulk up their squad to meet the demands of European football next season, with the Tyneside club currently occupying third in the league after exceeding expectations this season.
The Magpies currently lack an experienced attacking midfielder, and bringing in someone with the quality of Maddison would only improve their squad and their prospects for next season.

Manchester City have the next shortest odds at 8/1 to sign the Englishman.
The Champions League finalists already boast a star studded squad with multiple world class players across all their positions, but Pep Guardiola could be tempted by the Leicester star's availability.
