Swiss league leaders St Gallen could jump ahead of Rangers and offer Florian Kamberi a passport into the Champions League.
SunSport understands they’re in talks to take the Hibernian striker back to his homeland this summer.
Gers, who took Kamberi on loan in January, have asked to be kept informed of the player’s plans.
But St Gallen — top of the league with six games left and out to seal Champions League football — are now negotiating to buy him.
Norwich, Hull, Middlesbrough and Huddersfield are also interested, while several other European clubs are monitoring his situation.
Selling Kamberi would help balance the books after the £250,000 signing of Kevin Nisbet and the cost of the Covid-19 crisis.
It would also remove a player whose relationship with Hibs fans was left in tatters in January after joining Gers on loan.
Kamberi, back training at East Mains with ten months left on his deal, insisted it had been his “dream” to play for the Light Blues.
Easter Road supremo Ron Gordon is anxious for funds to help stem horror losses from the pandemic.
As SunSport revealed last week, there are plans to make up to 70 employees redundant at all levels of the club, including coaches and scouts.
Players, who have had a percentage of their wages deferred, have also learned Gordon intends to scrap appearance money and win bonuses for the new campaign.
