Italian side Atalanta look to be heading to Carrow Road for a pre-season game against Norwich City.
The Serie A side are reported to be playing three English teams - the Canaries, Swansea City and Leicester City.
There was no official confirmation on City's web site and the Italian reports did not specify a date for the match.
Atalanta - coached by Gian Piero Gasperini - have just enjoyed the best season in the club's 112-year history, finishing third in Serie A and qualifying for the Champions League for the first time.
They managed to do it with the highest goals total - 77 - in the league, and reportedly on the 14th highest budget of the 20 teams.
