Reports say Watford will not consider offers below £35 million for Ismaila Sarr after West Ham, Manchester United, Liverpool and Crystal Palace showed interest in the winger.
The 22-year-old has been linked with the Premier League sides during the January transfer window after scoring four goals for the Championship club this season.
But the Hornets have no intention of selling the youngster and would need to receive a bid of £35-40m just to open talks, according to the Athletic.
Watford value the Senegal international at around £50m and they received enquiries from United, Liverpool and Palace over the summer, but none of those clubs made a high enough offer.
The financial hit teams have taken from the coronavirus pandemic means that the Championship side may be convinced to sell, but they are determined to make a good profit on the £25m they spent to sign Sarr from Rennes in 2019.
West Ham are interested in the forward but their attention is now focused on bringing in a natural centre-forward to replace Sebastien Haller, who moved to Ajax earlier this month.
