Morrison's Palace deal expired on Tuesday and he has been linked with free transfers to Southampton, Reading, QPR, Norwich and Chris Coleman's City side.
But Morrison is ready to snub Coleman's approach such is his desire to stay in London, leaving QPR and Reading as his only viable possibilities.
However, the Tooting-born forward could still find himself leaving London if QPR or Reading fail to follow up their reported interest.
Palace have offered the striker a two-year-deal and it is understood that Morrison's preference is to stay at Palace ,but without the guarantee of first-team football, Morrison's hand could be forced to seek a move away from the club.
Fuelling speculation of a move, the striker failed to turn up to the first day of pre-season training on Wednesday. Palace chief Neil Warnock played down the significance of Morrison's absence. Warnock was reported as saying,
"Clinton is out of contract and it wasn't compulsory for him to show up on the Wednesday so I wouldn't read too much into it."
However, it is believed that Morrison was required to attend Thursday's session and whether he turned up or not will provide a clearer indication of the striker's intentions with regards to his future.
