Bristol City have rejected two quick-fire offers for Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth with the second totalling £10million, Bristol Live understands.
The Cherries made an initial offer in the region of £8million on Wednesday which was considerably short of City's asking price. They then returned with an improved bid believed to be an initial £8m plus £2m in add-ons which has also been turned down.
Bournemouth are now considering walking away from the deal and pursue other targets. Manager Gary O'Neil was hoping to sign the City striker ahead of this weekend's crunch clash with Nottingham Forest.
