Charlton Athletic manager Alan Pardew accepts that right-back Luke Young might not be at The Valley when the new season gets underway.
The 27-year-old England international has been linked with several Premier League clubs following the Addicks' relegation and Pardew admits a move is a likely outcome.
He told the club's official website: "We've had a few phone calls about Luke.
"I've got a lot of time and respect for Luke and I appreciate where he is in his career he wants to play in the Premier League.
"However, that's not always possible and I know that if we don't get the right offer, then he'll stay and be as professional as he is. There is no bad feeling and he's not being difficult.
"If a decent club comes in and I thought the fee was right I'd let him go.
"I've obviously brought in a replacement already in Yassin Moutaouakil, who I feel is going to give real competition to Luke whether he stays or not."
