City could miss out on centre-half Manny Smith with the Walsall defender on the verge of signing a new contract.
The Canaries have been linked with a summer move for the 21-year-old.
But Smith is understood to be on the verge of agreeing a new deal at the Banks's Stadium, leaving City to look elsewhere.
One national newspaper claims City boss Paul Lambert was keeping tabs on Smith - one of the few defenders in League One who has helped keep a clean sheet against Norwich this season after a goalless draw at Carrow Road in September.

Cardiff City were also said to be monitoring Smith's progress, with a view to snapping him up for nothing in the summer.
But Smith's contract is believed to be all but signed, leaving City to look elsewhere for defensive reinforcements.
