Manchester City are seeking talks with departing Chelsea football chief Frank Arnesen.
The Sunday Mirror says Arnesen, 54, will leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season and was being lined up to become Ajax's new head of recruitment.
But sources in Denmark claim that he is now listening to an "interesting" offer from City. Arnesen would not contemplate anything other than a senior role.
City's move for Arnesen has cast doubt on the future of Brian Marwood at Eastlands.
