Championship high-flyers Cardiff City and Reading are both desperate to sign Bournemouth's midfield battler Marvin Bartley as they race for promotion.
Cash-strapped Bournemouth have already sold marksman Brett Pitman to Bristol City and Josh McQuoid to Millwall this season and are desperate for funds to pay off debts owed to their stadium landlords.
The 24-year-old, who was plucked from Hampton & Richmond in 2007, is considered one of Bournemouth's most valuable assets after a string of all-action performances this season.
Now Cardiff and Reading both believe the former-window fitter can beef up their midfield to put them in the frame for promotion in the New Year.
