Sunderland are prepared to sell Adam Johnson this month.
The winger struck a hat-trick in victory at Fulham on Saturday.
The Daily Mail says there has been interest from home and abroad in the England winger, who has struggled for consistency since his much heralded move from Manchester City.
However, it is understood the asking price for the 26-year-old is around £14million and if a team wanted to sign him on loan then the fee is £2m plus wages of around £60,000 per week.
