Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says he won't beg James Maddison to stay.
With Newcastle keen, Maddison is in new contract talks with the Foxes.
Rodgers said, It's a conversation we've been having with his representatives for a while, so nothing's changed there. For me, it's about making sure he's playing at the best level he can, and thankfully he's doing just that.
"I speak openly with the players, especially the situation we're in with a whole host of players out of contract [soon]. That connection between player and manager is very important so it's an ongoing conversation.
"I won't be begging for a player to stay. This is a great club, great facilities and they have to understand that. But it's a short career, so I understand what they think."
