La Liga strugglers Valencia have made an official approach for West Bromwich Albion head coach Carlos Corberan.
Two separate sources have told BBC Sport and BBC Radio WM that talks are currently ongoing between the clubs, although a deal is yet to be finalised.
However, Valencia are said to be willing to pay the 41-year-old Spaniard's release clause at Championship club Albion, believed to be in the region of £3-4m.
The Spanish club sacked head coach Ruben Baraja on Monday after just two wins in 17 league matches this season.
Former Huddersfield Town boss Corberan was appointed by the Baggies in October 2022, leading them to a ninth-placed finish in his first season and fifth last term, as they lost to eventual winners Southampton in the play-off semi-finals.
