Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is willing to send Shay Given away on-loan.
The Mail on Sunday says Mancini will let goalkeeper Given go out on loan provided they have the facility to recall him should first choice Joe Hart get injured.
Given is keen to play regular first-team football but his £90,000-a-week wages are making it hard for other clubs to take him on.
The Irishman has been linked with Arsenal and AS Roma.
