The potential deal comes as Fargate is undergoing a multi-million pound revamp set to be “substantially finished” by the end of February.
Next door to Paperchase, piercings and goth fashion specialist Blue Banana is racing to open before Christmas.
Last month, Sheffield property agent Paul Lancaster said the deals proved there is “life out there” despite upheaval on Fargate, which started in May last year.
Boots was contacted for comment.
