Motherwell striker Ross McCormack will hold signing talks
with Middlesbrough later this week.
The 21-year-old is out of contract in the summer and is free to
speak to interested clubs.
But McCormack's agent, John Brown, told BBC Sport that Motherwell
are keen to extend the striker's stay and they too will talk to the
player this week.
Other Scottish Premier League and English Championship clubs have
also shown an interest.
McCormack started his senior career with Rangers and scored in a
1-1 Champions League draw away to Porto.
But he was loaned out to Doncaster later that season and left Ibrox
in 2006 after making just 14 appearances for the Glasgow
club.
McCormack's first season with Motherwell was plagued by injury and
he scored just three times in 15 appearances.
However, he has blossomed under new manager Mark McGhee this
season, scoring eight goals and putting in a series of
critically-acclaimed performances.
And this month said he was keen to extend his stay with
Motherwell.
But, with McGhee being among those shortlisted for the Scotland
manager's vacancy, McCormack also appears to be considering his
future at Fir Park.
"I've always said that I would benefit from another season or two
at Motherwell to progress my game and develop," McCormack had told
the club website.
"That is still the case, so we just need to get the right deal
sorted out."
Motherwell would be due compensation should McCormack reject a new
contract and leave for another club in the summer.
