Bournemouth have launched an official bid to Crystal Palace for their striker Glenn Murray, according to Sky sources.
It is believed the Cherries have been chasing Murray for some time, originally hoping to take the former Brighton, Rochdale and Carlisle forward on loan.
But Sky sources reported earlier this week that Palace would only part with Murray,31, if it was a permanent transfer.
Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew said on Thursday that Murray was "our player" and that he owed the club for giving him his chance in the top flight.
Murray began his career at Carlisle where he was shipped out on loan to Stockport County and then Rochdale, where he signed permanently as a 23-year-old in 2007.
He then moved to Brighton for £300,000 in in January 2008 and went on to score 53 goals in over 100 league appearances for the Seagulls.
Murray enjoyed a somewhat successful loan spell back in the Championship with Reading last season, where he netted eight times.
