Hull KR stand-off Travis Burns is being strongly linked with a move to St Helens for next season.
According to reports in today's rugby league Press, the two clubs have agreed a transfer fee in the region of £100,000 for the 30-year-old.
Saints are yet to speak to the Australian, but hope personal terms can be agreed later this week to make Burns their play-maker next season.
Losing Burns would be a big miss for Rovers after two successful seasons at the KC Lightstream Stadium, but the move would again be good business for the Robins, who sold Blake Green to Wigan for a similar fee two years ago.
As the Robins' co-captain, he has led by example this season and helped to compensate for the loss of scrum-half Michael Dobson, who went back to the NRL.
Most of Rovers' best rugby this season has come through Burns, who leads the team with 20 assists and four 40/20s.
Saints coach Nathan Brown is believed to be keen to partner Burns with Luke Walsh next season.
