The proposed deal for Marvin Emnes to move to Swansea on a permanent basis could edge closer to completion this week.
Boro have agreed a £1.5m deal to sell the Dutch forward to the Swans following a successful loan spell at the Premier League club last season.
And with Swansea's chairman back behind his desk, the deal may now progress quickly.
Garry Monk's side signed long-time Newcastle United target Bafetimbi Gomis on a free transfer from Lyon over the weekend but face losing star striker Michu, who is reportedly in talks with Italian side Napoli.

The Welsh side also face a battle to keep hold of last season's top scorer Wilfried Bony, who impressed for Ivory Coast in the World Cup.
Emnes, 26, spent a month at the Liberty Stadium on loan in October 2010 but was recalled when Tony Mowbray took charge at Boro.
He has struggled to find his best form under Aitor Karanka and was allowed to leave on loan in January before Swansea confirmed they wanted to thrash out a permanent deal for the playmaker at the end of the season.
