Cardiff City have had a £2.3m bid for striker Kieffer Moore rejected by Wigan Athletic.
The Bluebirds allowed Gary Madine to depart Cardiff City Stadium earlier this week while Isaac Vassell remains sidelined due to injury.
Neil Harris revealed he could delve into the January transfer window in a bid to bolster his forward options.
And reports on Friday claimed that the Bluebirds were keen on a swoop for Wigan frontman Moore, who helped Wales to qualify for Euro 2020.
However Latics boss Paul Cook confirmed after their 2-0 defeat to Bristol City that the Bluebirds had made an offer for Moore that Wigan had subsequently turned down.
Moore is currently sidelined with a calf injury and has not played for the Latics since scoring in a 2-1 defeat to Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on December 7.
He has netted two goals in 17 Championship appearances for Wigan so far this term while he has scored twice in his four competitive outings for Wales.
