Blackburn Rovers defender Gael Givet is ignoring stalled contract negotiations.
Givet is embroiled in a dispute over the terms of the contract he signed back in 2009 with Rovers over who is responsible for a payment due to the Inland Revenue, says the Lancashire Telegraph.
The 29-year-old believes the club should settle the bill, understood to ultimately be in the region of £250,000, but Rovers bosses think otherwise.
Rovers boss Steve Kean said: "Gael has the ability to put it at the back of his mind. It goes all the way back to when he first arrived, some sort of technicality problem with his contract.
"He has been able to put that in a box and come in and train. He has maybe used these games and training as an outlet that there is a bit of a problem that needs to be sorted out.
"I don't know the legalities of it but it needs to be sorted out one way or another sooner rather than later. He has put that to the back of his mind and has trained really well.
"Of course we hope it is sorted out and that he stays at the club. I think he is happy here. He has shown his commitment to the team when he has played at left back or centre back.
"He throws his body, gives his all and is a very popular person in the dressing room as well. He justly deserved the players' player of the year award last season."
