Scannell is currently out of favour at Palace, but it is understood that the 21-year-old is still part of the club's plans for the future.
McInnes is hoping to tempt Scannell to the West Country with the promise of first-team football.
Bristol City are currently 21st in the Championship, three points off the drop zone.
