Rennes are pushing interested Premier League clubs to up their offers for Ismaila Sarr.
The winger is the subject of a €30m offer from Watford, while Newcastle United and Arsenal are also in contact.
Le 10 Sport says the Hornets' proposal has been welcomed by Sarr, who would be happy to move to Vicarage Road.
But Rennes, while prepared to sell, want the midfielder to wait as they push to drive up his price.
With more interest arriving, Rennes are seeking to sell for €40m - at the least.
