Crewe Alexandra risk losing defender Perry Ng on a free transfer after rejecting £250,000 from Cardiff City.
League One Crewe have turned down Cardiff's bid, which also included a host of add-ons, for Ng and don’t want to sell their captain this month.
Crewe boss David Artell is determined to keep Ng despite the now real possibility of the defender leaving the club for nothing when his contract expires in the summer.
That would represent a massive financial gamble for Crewe given the difficult financial landscape caused by the Covid pandemic.
The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the best young full-backs in the EFL after making over more than 150 appearances.
Cardiff have made Ng their top target as Bluebirds boss Neil Harris targets a strong finish to the season.

The manager's comments can be ignored. The decision will be made by the Crewe board and based on common sense and their financial needs. Maybe he won't be coming if the the Villa loanee comes in?
Reports elsewhere that Crewe have accepted an increased offer of £350k from us.
Unless Crewe have a number of clubs after his services they'd be daft to hold out for more.
David Artell has confirmed Ng is on his way to Cardiff to complete a move today. Welcome Perry
