Rennes president Frederic de Saint-Sernin says the club are still awaiting a concrete offer for France midfielder Yann M'Vila.
M'Vila, 22, has been strongly linked with a move to Arsenal this summer, while there have also been reports of interest from Inter Milan and Barcelona.
However, while Rennes are willing to sell the player for the right price - a fee in the region of £15 million has been suggested - Saint-Sernin insists that they have yet to receive any bids.
"We have agreed with him that he can be transferred this summer," he told RMC Sport. "There are several big foreign clubs interested in him. We are not doing anything to prevent him leaving right now - there have not been any offers."
Saint-Sernin stressed that Rennes have great attachment to M'Vila, who joined the club in 2004.
"He is our international, a player we greatly appreciate," he said. "He has spent his entire career at Rennes, from the training centre to the first-team, with [current Rennes coach] Frederic Antonetti giving him his start.
"Obviously, we look upon him with something more than endearment. He is a player with the greatest value for us, particularly in emotional terms.
"This year, he has acted like a leader. He has fought and bounce back psychologically despite having had a few difficulties."

M'Vila keen on Arsenal switch
France international Yann M'Vila would be open to a move to the Premier League with Arsenal this summer.M'Vila is currently on international duty with France at Euro 2012 but is predicted to leave current club Rennes before the start of the next Ligue 1 campaign.
The 21-year-old played all 38 league games for Rennes this season and has been a revelation since making his debut for the club in 2009.
He has attracted interest from a host of Premier League clubs including Manchester City and Chelsea, and has been linked with Inter Milan. But he says a transfer to Arsenal would suit him.
"I have heard Arsenal are interested in me," M'Vila told the Daily Star Sunday. "I like Arsenal and I like the Premier League.
"I don't know what is happening with the clubs, but yes, I would be interested in the Premier League and Arsenal."

Stricken M´Vila to travel with France
The French Football Federation (FFF) has confirmed Yann M'Vila will remain with the France squad for Euro 2012 despite an ankle injury.The Stade Rennais midfielder picked up a knock in France's 2-0 friendly win over Serbia, and it was initially feared he could miss the European Championship due to the injury.
However, an MRI scan has revealed the 21-year-old's physical problems are less serious than previously thought, and he will not have to withdraw from the squad for Euro 2012.
"The MRI confirmed that it's a moderately serious sprain, without aggravating factors. It's running its course, there are no complications," an official statement from FFF read.
M'Vila will travel to Ukraine with the rest of the France squad on Wednesday, but he is unlikely to make a full recovery before their Group D opener against England on June 11.
After the England match, France take on tournament co-hosts Ukraine and then Sweden.
