Buckley's performances for Bielefeld have caught the eye of Liverpool and Manchester United, while clubs in Germany, Holland and Spain are monitoring his performances.
The 27-year-old has scored 15 goals for Bielefeld since joining the club from Bochum last year.
He is understood to have a buyout clause of ‚é¼500,000 in his Bielefeld contract and that makes him an attractive proposition for his suitors.
Spanish outfit Espanyol have already made a move to land the attacker, who possesses a German passport, after holding talks with his agent Rob Moore.
Espanyol are pushing for a spot in next season's UEFA Champions League and Moore acknowledges that is a plus point.
"The player is very interested in playing in Spain," Moore told the Spanish media.

"Also, the situation of Espanyol with the option for European competition is more pleasant."
