Norwich City risk losing chief Kieran Scott.
The Sun says Canaries head of recruitment Scott played a key role in the Norfolk side's signings of Teemu Pukki and Emi Buendia, who joined Aston Villa for £33million earlier this month.
Championship side Middlesbrough are mulling over offering him a role as sporting director.
Scott has spoken before of his desire to take such a position at a club in the future.
Though that role could possibly be available in a year at his own club Norwich, with current incumbent Stuart Webber previously hinting he could vacate his role when his contract ends in 2022.
