Newcastle United aren't giving up on signing Leicester City midfielder James Maddison.

Leicester have rejected a £35m offer from Newcastle for the England international.

The Daily Mail says the Magpies will continue negotiations in the coming days and hope that a compromise on price can be agreed.

They will not go close to the £60m asking price that has been mooted over the weekend and sources say a deal for the 25-year-old is likely to prove difficult to complete.

Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers said on Sunday: "He's still very much a player here. Naturally, the players are sought after because they are talents.

"You see his performance, you see how happy he is and he's not a player we want to sell. It's not for me to put valuations on the players, it's not my side, but that might just cover three-quarters of his left leg, that price. He's a top player."
