Lille are preparing a bid for Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony.

RMC says Lille are making a move for the Ivorian, having opened talks with City over the last 24 hours.

Bony has just endured a difficult 12 months on-loan with Stoke City and knows he has no future at City under manager Pep Guardiola.

Lille are now in talks with City about a deal for the centre-forward, though are insisting the Premier League keep their asking price realistic.

For his part, Bony has declared in the last week he'd like to continue his career in England next season.
