Cardiff City boss Russell Slade is keen to sign Town’s 27-goal Championship top scorer Daryl Murphy this summer, according to a report.
WalesOnline claims Murphy is one of Slade’s main summer targets as the Bluebirds look to return to the Premier League at the second time of asking following their relegation a year ago.
However, any attempt to sign the 32-year-old Irish international seems likely to end in failure with the striker having said he and his family are settled in Suffolk on a number of occasions this season.
The Waterford-born frontman signed a new contract with the Blues last summer, which currently has another year left to run, while the club have an option to extend it for a further season.
Speaking shortly after the end of the campaign, manager Mick McCarthy reiterated Town’s determination to keep hold of their more coveted players.
