Inverness Caledonian Thistle have rejected two bids from unnamed clubs for Romania striker Marius Niculae.
Niculae, 27, enhanced his reputation after being named in Romania's squad for Euro 2008 and the Scottish Premier League club have admitted they will sell the striker should they receive a suitable offer.
"We have had a friendly and constructive discussion with Marius," vice-chairman Graeme Bennett told the Press & Journal.
"We informed him that we had received offers from two clubs for him and we had rejected them as they did not meet a realistic valuation.
"Marius indicated that if any further offers came in he would wish the opportunity to consider them.
"The club has agreed to inform him of any such offer that is acceptable to us and then to allow him to talk directly to a club which has tabled an offer.
"In the meantime he has begun training with the first-team squad and will be available for selection until or unless we receive an offer which is satisfactory."
