City boss Alex Neil had said earlier this month that there was nothing in reports the Canaries had made a £1.5m bid for the former Torquay defender.

However, The Mirror are reporting that the Canaries have made a £2.5m bid for MacDonald, who has impressed at the heart of the Tykes’ back line this season.

Barnsley would be reluctant sellers given that they have just sold Conor Hourihane and James Bree to Aston Villa for a combined fee of £5m.

However, MacDonald could see a move to Carrow Road as a step up as Alex Neil looks to shore up a defence that is amongst the most porous in the Championship.

In a Pink Un poll earlier this month fans voted centre half as the position the club most needs to strengthen this window.

Sebastien Bassong and Ryan Bennett have failed to convince fans they are the answer whilst Timm Klose has been linked with a move back to Germany this month with Hamburg reportedly interested.
