Stoke City have received enquiries for experienced duo Darren Fletcher and Peter Crouch whose opportunities may be limited this season under new manager Nathan Jones.
Jones was appointed earlier this month and made it clear he wants to take the club in a different direction.
But any late deals involving the 34-year-old former Manchester United midfielder and 37-year-old ex-England striker Crouch could be complicated by the pair being among the highest-earners at the Bet365 Stadium.
Fletcher has appeared just 10 times this season for the Championship side, playing just 337 minutes.
Crouch has made considerably more appearances, but has amassed just 440 minutes of action across his 22 appearances, scoring just once.
Spanish striker Bojan Krkic could also be off. He hasn't played for the club since November.
The Spain international was marquee signing when he joined the club from Barcelona in 2014.
However, he has never hit the heights expected of him in England, spending time on loan at both Mainz and Alaves.
