The 26-year-old will have spent five seasons with the east Midlands club come the end of the season.
With only a year remaining on his current deal, Leicester are likely to cash in while they can.
That will be accelerated should they suffer relegation, which looks more and more likely as the season progresses, with the Foxes two points adrift of safety.
Dropping into the Championship is likely to see an exodus of their top players, most notably Maddison.
Newcastle are deemed to be the most likely side to wrap up the England international and are 9/4 frontrunners.
The Magpies are chasing a top four spot and are odds-on to do so after a stunning season to date.

Arsenal 14/1
Aston Villa 20/1
The club are bound to strengthen further in the summer, with the owners certain to back the manager in the transfer window.
But they now look set to face competition from Spurs and Liverpool, with both having their prices cut.
Spurs (7/2) are battling to make European football after a dramatic drop-off in performances and results as the season draws to a close.
While Liverpool (6/1 from 12/1) are back in the top four hunt after a dramatic turnaround in their form, with Manchester United and Newcastle now in their sights.
United (6/1) and Manchester City (10/1) come next in the betting market to sign Maddison, just ahead of Arsenal and Aston Villa at 14/1 and 20/1, respectively.
