Middlesbrough have reportedly told Aston Villa that they must pay £10m to sign striker Jordan Rhodes.
The 26-year-old has made just two Premier League starts for Boro this season and is said to be keen on finding a new club in the current transfer window.
According to The Mirror, the Teesside outfit want to recoup the £10m they paid Blackburn Rovers for Rhodes a year ago.
The report adds that Boro are doing so after Villa reportedly insisted on doing the same for the £6m sale of Rudy Gestede to the North-East club.
The Villans currently sit 12th in the Championship table.
