Leicester City chairman Milan Mandaric has confirmed Robbie Fowler as the club's top target.
Fowler has held talks with Sydney FC about a possible move to Australia, and Cardiff City are also reportedly interested in the Liverpool legend, but Mandaric admits a desire to bring the 32-year-old to The Walkers Stadium.
The Foxes, who have already brought in Carl Cort and are reportedly close to a £2million agreement for Birmingham forward DJ Campbell, are hoping to continue to bolster their attack as they look to fire their way back to the Premier League.
"We are still looking for more firepower up front and Fowler could give us that," Mandaric told the Leicester Mercury.
"I have been talking with his representatives and we know there is competition for him but it is not always about money.
"I think we would be the right club for someone who is really looking for the right challenge.
"We will see what happens through the pre-season and into August, but I said this would be a major rebuilding job for the club and that is still the case."
Reports in Wales, meanwhile, claim Fowler has verbally agreed to join Cardiff and will settle on personal terms upon his return from Australia.
