Ipswich Town boss Mick McCarthy has suggested that he will not have the final say over the future of goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski.
Crystal Palace have been linked with a move for the stopper, and McCarthy has acknowledged that the Eagles are considering a formal approach for the 30-year-old.
However, McCarthy has said that owner Marcus Evans will decide whether to cash in on the Pole, who is in the final year of his contract.
The 58-year-old is quoted by the Ipswich Star as saying: "It's not about stumping up the money I think he's worth, it's about stumping up the money Marcus [Evans] thinks he's worth. It's not my decision, that.
"I think it would be pretty restrictive, what Marcus thinks he's worth, because we all think he's a top, top goalkeeper."
Bialkowski has made 128 appearances for the Tractor Boys since joining the club in 2014.
