'The Sun' reports that Leicester have basically got James Maddison's new contract all sewn up. He will sign a new contract until 2025 and will get double what he receives currently. He will therefore be the second highest paid player in the squad behind Jamie Vardy. Maddison turned down Man Utd in the past.
Leicester are about to seal the continuity of one of their key men. Maddison, according to 'The Sun', will soon sign a new contract which will keep him at the club until 2025. He will get double what he earns now as a reward for his good work in the past two seasons. This will happen a few months after the footballer turned down Man Utd.
He will become the second highest paid player in the squad only behind Jamie Vardy. The striker is the star of the side. He is one of the major reasons why the Foxes went from being a mid table team to a top six one.
His salary could be around 5.5 million euros, according to the previously cited source. It could be official soon because the ideal thing for the board would be to sign it before offers come in from other clubs.
Maddison has a very bright future. He is 23, has a market value of 42.8 million euros - almost double what it cost Leicester to sign him - and he has started at least 34 matches in the last two seasons.
