Newcastle United could revisit a move for James Maddison in January if they cannot sign the Leicester City star now, believes journalist Pete O’Rourke. The Tyneside club want Maddison but have already had two bids rejected for him.
According to The Guardian, Newcastle have had a second offer for Maddison turned down by Leicester. The same outlet states that it was worth £50m but the Foxes want £60m and are reluctant to sell the attacking midfielder this summer.
Brendan Rodgers is facing a real battle to keep hold of a host of his star players, with Wesley Fofana also attracting interest from another Premier League club.
Chelsea are thought to be keen on signing the Frenchman, but again, like with Maddison, Leicester do not want to sell. If Newcastle fail to land Maddison in this transfer window, then O’Rourke can see them returning for the Englishman in January.
