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 win 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 and facing Championship football if he stays, it’s more than likely Maddison has played his last game for the club.
Tottenham, the new favourites for his signature, look likely to be have a bit of an overhaul this summer after what turned out to be a disastrous season for the north London club.
A disappointing campaign last season for Spurs saw them finish eighth in the Premier League, their lowest finish since 2009 and leaves them without European football next season.
Former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has been announced as the new boss at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and will likely have a busy transfer window in preparation for his first season as a Premier League manager.
Lots of uncertainty surrounds the club this summer regarding the unresolved future of the club’s all time leading goalscorer Harry Kane, who is rumoured to be leaving his boyhood club at the end of the season.

Newcastle now trail in 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, following their fourth place finish in the Premier League last month.
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.
Chelsea’s odds of signing Maddison have started drifting, moving from 10/1 to 14/1 over the last few days as Mauricio Pochettino prepares for his new job at Stamford Bridge.
Mason Mount looks increasingly likely to be headed for the exit door in West London, and Maddison could well be the perfect like for like replacement should Pochettino feel the need to sign one.
The odds of Manchester United signing Maddison have drifted in recent days from 8/1 to 16/1, with the side seemingly prioritising Mount over Maddison
Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag could be on the lookout for an experienced Premier League player who can cover all three attacking roles as they look to strengthen their squad depth as they bid to close the gap on the Premier League leaders next season.
Arsenal are also in the conversation to sign Maddison at 16/1 as they look to improve the strength and depth of their squad in order to mount another charge for the Premier League title next season after coming up short in the final stretch this time around.
