The City captain is rumoured to be interesting the likes of Portsmouth and Tottenham Hotspur and could be forced to quit City of Manchester Stadium in search of first team football.
The Republic of Ireland international has been a big part of the new City revolution, but now manager Mark Hughes is set to make a couple defensive signings over the summer, and the Irishman is reportedly on his way out of the club.
Spurs manager Harry Redknapp has always been a big fan of the central defender, and is keen to take him to White Hart Lane, but the 29-year-old would most likely act as cover to first choice defenders Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate.
This means that his destination could be Fratton Park, where Portsmouth have expressed an interest in signing the Irish defender.
Dunne would almost certainly be guaranteed a starting place for Pompey, who reportedly tried to sign him during the January transfer window, but the deal never went through.
Hughes is said to be chasing highly-rated Everton defender Joleon Lescott, who would cost the City boss around £15 million.
Dunne has been at City of Manchester Stadium since moving from the Toffees in 2000, and has so far made 294 league appearances for the club, scoring seven goals.
