It's been widely reported that Verstappen and his entourage have held discussions with McLaren in the last few months as the Dutchman weighs up his future.
The Red Bull driver's contract runs until the end of 2028, but it's believed that he can activate a release clause at the end of a season if he finishes outside the top two of the championship, which he's highly likely to do this season.
His arrival would put Norris's own future with McLaren at risk, with either him or Oscar Piastri having to make way, but the reigning world champion isn't worried, only seeing Verstappen's interest as a positive that shows just how well the team are doing.
"It's a cool thing," he told reporters at Silverstone ahead of the British Grand Prix weekend.
"It's a good thing that a four-time world champion wants to come on board and potentially join our team. I don't know how much of it is true, but it's a cool thing."
The rumours haven't made Norris fear for his own future, with him certain that he'll be at McLaren for years to come.
"I'm just excited for my future with McLaren. I'm still going to be here for many, many more years, so I'm excited for whoever I get partnered with."
Verstappen is notorious for being a difficult driver to be teammates with, with the extent of his dominance over numerous other Red Bull drivers over the years leading to them losing their seats.
However, Norris says he'd relish the prospect of sharing a garage with him, and is confident that he could win that intra-team battle.
However, the Englishman does admit that the 28-year-old is on another level to the rest of the grid in terms of consistency.
"I do believe I can beat any driver," said Norris.
"What makes Verstappen so incredible is how he is over the course of the season, every single weekend, performing to the level that he does.
"I think a lot of drivers on the grid can go out and get a pole and can put in incredible laps. What makes people great and elites is performing at that level, but in every practice, every qualifying, every race, and I think that's something that Max is able to do probably better than almost everyone.
"So yeah, I believe whether it's him or having a chance to go against Lewis (Hamilton) or Fernando (Alonso), the drivers that people know are some of the best, I think it's a cool opportunity for me at the same time."
