Rennes chief Jean-François Creachcadec feels a move to England next summer is likely for Yann M'Vila.
The midfielder is a target for Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal and Creachcadec says no Italian club can now afford him.
He told TMW: "He's a player of very high technical value and therefore his economic value is also high. In the summer we received a big offer from England, but it arrived too late.
"Next summer we will be ready to consider reasonable proposals.
"Italy? No one can afford him, for figures and value."
