Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic would allegedly prefer to join Manchester City during this summer's transfer window than move to Arsenal this month.
The Gunners continue to pursue the Serbia international and have reportedly told him that he has until the middle of next week to make a decision on a possible move to the Emirates Stadium.
However, according to La Repubblica, Vlahovic 'dreams' of Man City, with the Premier League champions expected to be in the market for a new centre-forward ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
The 21-year-old has been in impressive form for his Italian club during the current season, finding the back of the net on 20 occasions in 24 appearances, in addition to providing four assists.
Fiorentina are believed to be pushing for a January exit, with the club wary of letting him enter the final 12 months of his contract, which would decrease his value.
However, Vlahovic is said to be keen to complete the season with the Purples before moving to Pep Guardiola's side during the summer transfer window.
