Coventry City Development Officer Steve Waggott is maintaining that Callum Wilson is not for sale.
With Bournemouth likely to be having an improved bid rejected unless it is well north of the £3m the Canaries sold Lewis Grabban to Norwich City for, the Sky Blues seem to be continuing to reject any bids for the Coventry born striker.
Steve Waggott told the Coventry Telegraph this week: “At the moment our view is that Callum isn’t for sale.
"We have had approaches from other Championship clubs who are keen to secure the services of one of the best young strikers around in League One at the moment. But as it stands we have rebuffed and rejected all offers that have come in."
Waggott also told the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner: Buying and selling players is a real art, not a science.
“You hope that if you retain the services of a player that did well for you, and that they have another good season and increase their value.
“But I have seen so many players go the other way because of injury, loss of form and all the other various permutations of professional football.
“I think the only way you ever sell a player like Callum is if you restructure your squad in a way where Steven Pressley sees a stronger overall squad than just one player. That’s the only time you would commercially consider it, if the deal is so good that it allows you to have more depth and more options in the squad itself to give you a real push.
“And that’s the critical point I would say about any negotiation of selling and buying players. Because if it means your squad, after all the transactions, is better than it was than if the player was in it.
“If it works then you get called a magician, and if it goes badly then you are called everything under the sun for selling him.”
