But Croft is delaying any decision while he considers his options. The Wigan-born 20-year-old has failed to make an impression under Pearce but the City boss said: "There are one or two clubs who have been interested in Lee but Norwich are the ones who have come up with a fee we find acceptable.
"Lee has spoken to Norwich and now we are just waiting to hear whether he is going to leave or not."
Croft was on the fringes of the first team last year but his chances of senior action appear limited given the Blues' extensive recruitment programme this summer.
Midland rivals Coventry and Birmingham are also monitoring developments.
