Gary Lineker has held talks with ITV about becoming their football anchor from next season.
The Match of the Day presenter met with Niall Sloane, ITV's head of sport, who used to be his boss at the BBC.
Lineker is unhappy about having to travel to Salford Quays every week from his Surrey home to film MOTD.
He is keen to work as one of the main anchors on the 2012 London Olympics for the Beeb, but then wants to move on.
Signing the former England captain would be a huge coup for Sloane and ITV. It would be another setback for the BBC though, who do not have an obvious replacement ready to step into Lineker's shoes.
