The 26-year-old is believed to be ready to take the next step and join a club playing in Europe to help boost his England chances.
Bournemouth are not welcoming any interest in Solanke, who they have under contract until 2027.

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou said last week that trying to sign a forward was a "focus".
