Cardiff City boss Dave Jones knows he faces a battle to keep winger Joe Ledley.
Stoke City and Everton are among Premiership clubs chasing the Wales international and Jones said: "My chairman will be terrified if I go asking for money now.
"We're trying to keep him (Ledley) but if the right price comes in for any of our players, we have to survive and that's what I've got to work with.
"If we can do well maybe players will want to stay. We're all aiming for Premier League football."
