Blackburn Rovers will sell David Bentley if the England winger fails to sign a new contract this summer.
Now, with rumours of Chelsea interest, Hughes and Williams have ordered Bentley to put pen to paper or the offer will be withdrawn immediately.
Rovers hope the ultimatum will bring Bentley to his senses as he still has three years left on his current £20,000-a-week deal, says the People. Each week he stalls on signing he loses £30,000 in wages.
There have been growing reports of Bentley being unsettled. The club is aware he has recently been telling people he was on his way to Liverpool. However Chelsea are emerging as the club most likely to move.
Although it's revealed that Bentley is not even top of their summer hit list - and at £15 million there are doubts within Stamford Bridge about his value .
