Wolves have rejected a third offer from Sunderland for striker Steven Fletcher.
The Championship side have previously turned down bids
of £10m and £12m for the 25-year-old, and this latest offer falls short
of Wolves' £15m valuation.
Fletcher submitted a transfer request earlier this month, following Sunderland's £12m offer.
"We want to keep our best players," said Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey. "If our valuations are not met then they will remain at Wolves."
Fletcher, who scored 12 goals in 26 Premier League appearances as Wolves were relegated from the top flight last season, has two years left on his Molineux contract, with an option for a third.
His former club Burnley will be due 15% of any profit Wolves make on a player they paid £7m for in 2010.
Fletcher missed Saturday's Capital One Cup tie against Aldershot with an ankle injury and, with Wolves due to start their Championship campaign at Leeds on Saturday, Moxey is eager to bring the transfer saga to a close.
