Bayer Leverkusen are rivalling Crystal Palace to appoint Andoni Iraola as their next manager, talkSPORT understands.
Iraola will leave Bournemouth at the end of this season and has been linked with a switch to their Premier League rivals Palace.
talkSPORT reported earlier in the month that he is their number one target to replace the outgoing Oliver Glasner.
However, Palace now face competition from Leverkusen, who look set to make their third permanent appointment in a year.
They have just finished sixth in the Bundesliga, with Kasper Hjulmand the man currently in charge.
The Dane joined the club in September as their replacement for Erik ten Hag, who was sacked after just three matches in charge.
Reports claim that Leverkusen and Hjulmand are set to part ways this summer, with Iraola eyed as his replacement.
Iraola has also been linked with Chelsea, but talkSPORT understands they have reached an agreement in principle with Xabi Alonso.
The Cherries boss has already held talks with Palace over a move.
