According to Echo Sport, the 25-year-old has a £2.5m release clause and the Black Cats feel they can ‘take advantage’.

Peterborough, however, could offer Maddison fresh terms in a late attempt to keep him at Weston Homes Stadium.

Thus far, only Connor McLaughlin has arrived as a new outfield player, with goalkeeper Lee Burge also coming in.

Former Burnley striker Tinashe Chakwana is also a target.
