For now, however, it sounds like nobody's flexing yet.
"We're still speaking with Clyney and his agent. We have to know in 10 days. He's very happy and of course there is some interest but nobody has really bid for the player."

"Morgan will be out for four or five weeks, so that means until the end of the season. I don''t know [if he's played his last game], or about interest or about bids. There aren't any serious bids for the player. He is happy but it's up to the player."
