Club officials are now on the hunt for a new permanent manager ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.
And SunSport understands Maresca has emerged as a top candidate.
Leicester are now braced for an approach from the Blues.
Maresca reportedly has an £8.5million release clause in his contract.
The 44-year-old took over at the King Power Stadium last summer following Dean Smith’s departure.
He guided Leicester back to the Premier League at the first time of asking, winning 31 out of 46 Championship games.
