The Belgian club want £20million for the Nigeria international but the Foxes fully expect to complete a deal early in the January transfer window.
The 19-year-old is viewed as one of the brightest prospects in Belgian football and Genk know they are facing a losing battle to keep him.
But they are determined to maximise his value when the transfer window reopens with both clubs remaining in contact with a view to concluding a January deal.
Ndidi is viewed as the long term replacement for N’Golo Kante, who left for Chelsea in the summer.
Claudio Ranieri brought midfielder Nampalys Mendy to the King Power Stadium in a £13m deal last summer, but he has been restricted to just one Premier League appearance so far due to a troublesome ankle injury.
