Antoine Semenyo is understood to favour a move to Manchester City in the January transfer window.
Pep Guardiola's side look likely to win the race for the Bournemouth star amid interest from a host of Premier League sides.
Should Man City seal a deal it would represent a blow to Manchester United, who had been battling their city rivals for the attacker's signature.
Liverpool have previously done due diligence on him too, with Tottenham having also registered interest.
Daily Mail Sport reported that Chelsea had also come to the table on Monday evening, after Semenyo had spent a day off weighing up his options.
