Paris St Germain could be set to scupper Bolton's hopes of signing long-term target Shaun Wright-Phillips.
The mega-rich club, backed by the Qatar Investment Authority, is reportedly lining up a £2.5million bid for the Manchester City winger this week and is willing to offer a massive salary to convince him to quit the Premier League for France.
According to The Bolton News, the 29-year-old's representatives have confirmed PSG's interest and that could seriously damage Owen Coyle's chances of landing the England international before the transfer deadline at the end of the month.
The Trotters are unwilling to break the bank to land the winger, whose current salary far exceeds the highest earner at the Reebok, and it is understood that existing offers from Wigan Athletic and Stoke City both carry with them higher basic wages.
But there is hope for Bolton after the player's agent Wayne Lindsay confirmed that Wanderers' offer does appeal to the player because it would mean he could stay in the North West.
City boss Roberto Mancini said last week that the winger's departure from Eastlands was not a certainty, but his exclusion from the squad to face Swansea City on Monday night has all but pushed Wright-Phillips to the Etihad Stadium exit door three years after he returned from Chelsea for £8m.
