The Krakow-born centre-back, who turns 35 next week, has reportedly penned a one-year extension at the King Power Stadium.
Wasilewski, who has won 60 caps for Poland and played at both Euro 2008 and 2012, joined Leicester in September 2013 after six seasons at Belgian club Anderlecht.
The veteran played an important role in Leicester's battle to avoid relegation in the closing months of the Premier League season and has now made over 60 appearances for the Foxes.
Leicester manager Nigel Pearson has spoken highly of the rugged Wasilewski in the past, saying: "I love him, he's great.
"Centre-backs who enjoy defending are a dying breed."
