HULL are ready to offer keeper Ivor Pandur a new deal to fight off interest.
The Tigers stopper only signed a year ago.
But he is looking for a raise as rivals take a shine.
Pandur, 25, is on the shortlist at Middlesbrough.
The Croat, though, is still happy to stay on Humberside.
That is despite their financial issues with the EFL .
Hull have a pay ceiling of around £1million a year.
But midfielder Gustavo Puerta is looking for a move to a Spanish club, as Hull are not allowed to sign him permanently from Bayer Leverkusen.
The Colombian star, 22, is in limbo because of the EFL ruling .
He spent last season on loan at Hull, making 31 appearances for the Championship side.

In April, the club confirmed Puerta had triggered a clause in his loan move to make the transfer permanent for just north of £3m.
But now he could be on his way out already.
Hull have brought in seven other players in this transfer window – six of them on frees.
That includes Oli McBurnie from Las Palmas and Semi Ajayi from West Brom.
On the pitch, Sergej Jakirovic’s side began their 2025-26 Championship season with a 0-0 draw away at Coventry on Saturday – which included a major brawl .
But Puerta was not part of the matchday squad against Frank Lampard’s men.
