Swansea City skipper Ashley Williams could play out the final year of his contract at the Liberty.
Williams could be set to allow his contract to run down before leaving on a free next season, says the Evening Chronicle.
Williams was believed to be happy to stay at the Liberty Stadium, but talks on a contract extension appeared to have stalled.
Sunderland are among a host of Premier League clubs monitoring the situation, should the Swans decide to cash in on their skipper.
