OXFORD United are in line to receive a six-figure sum if speculation over Callum O’Dowda comes to fruition.
Fulham are interested in signing the 24-year-old winger, according to Sky Sports.
Bristol City’s price tag has been suggested as £8million, although the Cottagers are thought to be unwilling to go that high for a player heading into the final year of his contract at Ashton Gate.

Any move the Republic of Ireland international makes this summer will be of interest to the U’s, who included a sell-on clause in the deal which took him to the Robins in 2016.
Described at the time as “significant”, it is thought to be ten per cent of City’s profit on the deal.
With the fee for O’Dowda three years ago rising to £1.6m, it would represent a useful cash injection for United.
An £8m move would net them £640,000, while they would stand to gain £240,000 if the transfer was £4m.
O’Dowda, from Kidlington, made 106 appearances for United after coming through their academy.
Ten of his 14 goals for the club came during the promotion-winning season in 2015/16, after which he moved to City.
