The 24-year-old Morocco international is keen on a move to a bigger league after impressing in the Champions League this season.
Chamakh told Setanta Sports: “Of course I am interested in Manchester City and hopefully, one day, I will end up playing in England.
“Pascal Chimbonda opened the doors to French League players by moving to a relatively modest team before joining a bigger club, Tottenham, and I could follow his example.
“A foreign player can learn by playing for a mid-table team, because you always need to adapt, and then aim higher.
“I have been told that moving to England is a culture shock, but as far as I am concerned, I am not from a French culture and made it here so, to my mind, I can adapt.”
