BLACKBURN are set to offer Ben Brereton Diaz a new deal — including a fixed price on his head.
Sevilla and Nice want the Chile international striker, 23, with West Ham among interested Premier League clubs.
But Rovers’ £15million valuation is putting them all off.
And time is now running out before the transfer window shuts on September 1.
Ewood Park chiefs know Brereton Diaz could leave for nothing next summer.
They hope to persuade him to sign a contract extension with a big pay-rise and a number Rovers will sell at if clubs come calling again.
