Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino says they'll only sell Ross McCormack to a Premier League club.
The likes of West Ham United and Newcastle United have been linked with the Scot.
Cellino said: "If he gets an offer from a big team then we should give him the chance to go. But the teams who've asked for McCormack are from the Championship.
"Why should I sell McCormack? We are not desperate to sell him so why should we? If I needed the money, I would tell you frankly - I need the money, I have to sell, I'm not ashamed.
"McCormack is a matter of principle, not money. He's a beautiful player and he's staying at Leeds."
