Southampton manager Ronald Koeman says that the club will hold discussions with Nathaniel Clyne regarding the player's future following Tuesday's match against Crystal Palace.
Clyne, 23, has been in fine form for the Saints as they compete for a top-four spot this season, but has yet to sign a new contract with his current deal running until the summer of 2016.
Sources told ESPN FC that Manchester United were interested in signing the right-back in January, while Chelsea have reportedly joined the race to sign the England international this summer.
Despite interest growing in Clyne, his coach Koeman says there is no "serious bid" on the table for the defender, but hinted that the right-back role would not be the most difficult position to find a replacement for.
"The contact is between Les Reed [Southampton's executive director] and the agent and Clyne, but I think after Wednesday it's a good time to talk about that -- of course, we like to know what his decision is about the future," Koeman said in the Daily Telegraph.
When asked if he was confident of Clyne staying, he added: "I hope, but I can understand if there is any interest from other clubs. We don't have really a serious bid. It's not I think the most difficult position.
"Normally the left-back position is more difficult to find good players. But, even the right full-back position, there are not a lot who have played on the level as Clyne has been doing this season."
Another player who has been linked with a move away from St Mary's is Jay Rodriguez, who has been out of action since April.
The England international missed the World Cup after picking up a serious knee injury, though sources told ESPN FC in January that Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City are all monitoring the 25-year-old.
However, the striker is not set to make an imminent comeback according to Koeman, who said: "He is not very close to be part of the training session. We don't press the player -- the most important thing is his health. I'm confident that he will come back, but when I don't know."
After Tuesday's visit of Palace, Southampton do not play again until March 15 -- and the break is a welcome one for the Saints, who lost three of their five league games in February to lose ground in the race for Champions League qualification.
In a bid to kickstart their form following an impressive first half of the season, Koeman is planning a training-free four-day trip to Switzerland, adding: "It's good for the body, it's good for the mind."
