Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony is keen on a move to Olympique Marseille.
While the Ivorian is in talks to return to Swansea City, La Provence says negotiations have been ongoing for some weeks.
And Bony is said to favour a move to OM ahead of Swansea.
The 28 year-old has been put up for sale by City after he spent last season on-loan at Stoke City.
Swansea are regarded as favourites, though in France it is claimed Bony wants to move to Marseille.
