Stoke City could face a battle to keep Marko Arnautovic after the Austria international expressed his desire to play in the Champions League.
Arnautovic enjoyed his best season in the Premier League in 2015-16 as he formed part of an attacking trio with Bojan and Xherdan Shaqiri.
The 27-year-old, who moved to the Britannia Stadium in 2013, scored 11 times for Mark Hughes side in a campaign that saw Stoke finish ninth.
Arnautovi, who has one year left on his deal, has been linked with Paris Saint-Germain, the Ligue 1 club reportedly keen to take advantage of an apparent £12.5million release clause.
And a move to the French champions would help Arnautovic achieve his dream of playing in Europe s elite club competition.
I hope of course it [playing in the Champions League] will happen again, he is quoted as telling the Stoke Sentinel.
Every footballer wants to play in the Champions League because it is the best there is, it s that simple.
I hope I will succeed in the near future.
