BLACKBURN want up to £20million for their top scorer Sammie Szmodics.
Rovers’ goal machine is tearing up the Championship, alerting Prem clubs — including some of those who may go down.
Luton and Brentford have camped out at Blackburn games while Sheffield United are also admirers.
But Rovers are looking for £15-20million to let the attacking midfielder go.
That would be similar to the fee for midfielder Adam Wharton who joined Crystal Palace for £18m, rising to £22m, in January.

Szmodics, 28, has had the season of his life, hitting 31 goals in all competitions despite Blackburn struggling.
The playmaker has also amassed two caps with the Republic of Ireland.
The valuation may be too high for the Irishman’s fan club.
But offers are bound to start landing soon.
Meanwhile, Birmingham are ready to fight Blades for Leeds’ Luke Ayling at the end of the season.

Ayling, 32, is on loan at Middlesbrough until the end of the season.
But prolonging his career at St Andrew’s with Brum is a very real option.
