Wigan chairman Dave Whelan admits Aston Villa face some serious competition for star player Charles N'Zogbia.
Having seen Liverpool pay £20million for Stewart Downing, Whelan insists the Latics are holding out for at least half that amount for N'Zogbia.
The winger, who bagged 10 goals for Athletic last campaign, is also a reported target for Everton, Newcastle and Sunderland.
Bidders
Whelan said: "Villa are not the sole bidders, there are another couple of clubs who are desperate to sign him.
"It depends how much they can pay up front, because we have got to re-spend that £10million this season just to replace Charles.
"I have always said for £10million he is an absolute snip, if Downing can change hands for £20million I don't know what Charles is worth.
"He is the fastest, most direct wide player in the Premier League and I have always asked for £10million and hopefully we will get it and he will move on and be happy.
"He only has 12 months left on his contract. I would love to keep him, he is a great lad and a fantastic player, but everything being as it is we have to be sensible and if we get a decent offer, and Charles wants to go, as usual I will honour what the player wants and let him go."
Desire
Whelan also confirmed that the player did not travel with the squad for their pre-season training camp in Austria on Friday.
"The team have gone to Austria, but Zoggy hasn't gone," said Whelan.
"He is a great lad to have around the club. If we do lose him, and we may well do, because he has expressed a desire to move on, we will miss him enormously.
"But he is a great asset for any football club who wants him."
