Viewed as one of the club’s biggest assets, Leicester are set to cash in on Maddison – who has one year remaining on his deal – to begin a squad overhaul as they plot an instant return to the top flight.
Newcastle have been long-standing admirers of Maddison stretching back to last summer and are leading the chase for the 26-year-old.
Maddison is currently away on international duty with England but found the time to update his Instagram followers with how he is spending his down time in the Three Lions camp.
The Leicester star posted a picture of himself playing a game of pool with Newcastle striker Callum Wilson in a post guaranteed to stir up speculation over his future.
And it had the desired effect with Newcastle fans salivating at the thought of the pair teaming up in the Champions League next season.
One fan wrote: “Wilson and Maddison chilling, what a tease.”
A second tweeted: “Btw that Maddison post with Wilson is so deliberate. Something is cooking.”
Another fan added: “Maddison confirmed! Playing pool with Wilson on his Insta story.”

Maddison and Wilson have a long-standing friendship with both players hailing from Coventry and having spent a season together at the CBS Arena.
Leicester are believed to want in the region of £40million for their star player who has made over 200 appearances for the club since his arrival five-year's ago.
