It is understood City are willing to sign him on a short-term deal until the end of the season, initially matching his current weekly wage at Leeds.

There are also reports of an added incentive of a £300,000 bonus if he helps the club retain their Premiership status.

Should Bowyer opt to join City, they would also have to agree a fee with Leeds as he is still under contract at Elland Road, with United likely to accept an offer of around £1million.

Geiss has indicated there are other clubs interested in acquiring Bowyer's services.

Terry Venables said: "It's really out of our hands, unless both parties (Birmingham and Bowyer) agree.

"Once they do then it would be up to us to sort a fee out, but as yet there has been nothing agreed. We (Leeds) don't come into play unless they have an agreement. Birmingham would then have to agree with us.

"But there is a contract on the table here for him, and it's up to him. Obviously he will have options and that's what he is looking at this moment and we all know that. It's then up to him to decide what he wants to do."

Venables, who is also in the hunt for new players to strengthen his squad, concedes "there has been talk, with phone calls both ways" with other parties.

However, Robbie Fowler's proposed move to Manchester City now appears dead as the striker's wage demands are beyond the resources of the Maine Road club

Bowyer would get £30,000 for 26 weeks, that's £780,000, and if Birmingham stayed up he would get an extra £300,000, bringing the total to £1,080,000. If I was Bowyer I'd take it, even if Birmingham didn't stay up he could go back to Leeds who would let Spurs buy him.

I'm sure a bigger club than Birmingham would want him, pay him more and would be better for him in the long term. I could see Liverpool buying him and then going really pants.

Cant see him going to Man U or Liverpool, most likely a middle to good club like Chelsea or Newcastle

Hope Villa go after him, as we need some quality Midfielders like Bowyer.

Another play to leave Leeds could be Dacourt:

Leeds have confirmed that Olivier Dacourt's agent is meeting with Roma over a possible move to Italy.

Dacourt's representative Bruno Satin has arrived at Roma's headquarters in Trigoria accompanied by the Serie A club's sporting director Franco Baldini to discuss personal terms.

It is understood Roma have been looking for a loan deal until the end of the season.

Leeds' official website reported: "Bruno Satin is discussing personal terms with Roma, but as yet no fee has been agreed with United for either a permanent or a loan move that would see Dacourt relocate to the Olympic Stadium."
