Football's governing body FIFA may be required to sort out Rory Wilson's transfer from Rangers to Aston Villa.
The Scotland youth international is expected to depart Ibrox for a shot at England's Premier League with ex-Light Blues boss Steven Gerrard.
He bagged an outstanding 49th goal of the season when he netted for the nation's u17s squad at the Euros in Israel, with attention following him.
Wilson is set to move on July 1 and has agreed terms with the Villans, but they and Rangers are "poles apart in valuations and future add-ons", according to the Daily Record.
It's reported that the Glasgow club have turned down a final offer from Villa for the player who remains on an SFA registration form and currently is an amateur.

Due to the fact he would be signing his first professional contract in Birmingham, only cross-border training compensation is required, unless a fee can be agreed.
One hasn't come about and Rangers have stated the player is registered until the end of 2022, but reports suggest Villa and Wilson believe current rules are 'prohibitively restrictive' and are confident of FIFA upholding it.
Villa will aim to register the player and apply for International Transfer Clearance with England's FA, but this would be bounced back by Scotland's, because Rangers haven't accepted a fee and would dispute his registration.
Then, a temporary international clearance would be granted as the transfer gets convoluted and heads to FIFA because it's an international cross-border transfer.
