Striker Wilfried Bony recently informed his football club, Swansea City, that he is interested in a Champions League club such as Manchester City or Real Madrid.

Manchester City previously asked how much money they would need to sign-up Bony for their club while Real Madrid also expressed their interest in the player. Aside from those two teams, Ivory Coast International knows that he is in demand.

The centre-forward signed a deal with Swansea City in November, therefore, the club's chairman Huw Jenkins is responsible for accepting or rejecting offers for Bony. However, Bony expected that by signing a new contract he will be allowed to talk with Champions League clubs.

Bony's dream for a Champions League club may not be too far fetched since Manchester City is reportedly willing to spend £25 million for him. However, football enthusiasts say that Swansea may hold on to Bony, but will have a hard time resisting Manchester's tempting offer.

Bony's agent Dalibor Racina mentioned in June that offer should be over £20 million for Swansea to consider giving up their valuable player.

Former Wales striker Iwan Roberts expressed his thoughts about Bony's possible transfer.

"I honestly don't think they have to sell him in the January transfer window.He's got plenty of years in front of him, there's four months to the end of the season. Is his value going to drop suddenly from now until then? Even if he doesn't score a lot of goals I don't think it would. Personally I don't think they'll sell him unless they get an offer that they quite simply cannot refuse," Roberts said in an interview.

Roberts also praised Bony's abilities and said that he is a fan of the player.

The offers for Bony are not a surprise considering his playing performance. The player is Swansea's top scorer with a total of 25 goals in 48 appearances.

Meanwhile, Bony will prove his skills again as he plays for the Africa Cup of Nations duty in Equatorial Guinea for three weeks staring January 10.
