Tranmere striker Ian Thomas-Moore has handed in a transfer request to the League One club. Rovers boss Les Parry says the 33-year-old has a bigger offer from elsewhere.
Parry told BBC Radio Merseyside: "He asked for another year on his contract and we had a discussion about it and we asked him to leave it until Christmas.
"He tells us he's been made an offer from another club, and I don't know who that club is, with an increase in his salary plus a two-year contract."
He added: "Now because of that, and as we wouldn't give him a second year at the moment, he's put in a transfer request.
"But while he's showing the attitude he's showing, I don't really see a problem. It will end up with some result, whether he stays here or not I don't know.
"I won't let him go and I certainly won't let him go for nothing."
There has been speculation surrounding Thomas-Moore's future and he has been linked with Rotherham, who are managed by his father and former Tranmere boss Ronnie Moore.
But Parry has moved quickly to tell fans at Prenton Park that no official offer has been received.

So, they're looking for strikers.

Tranmere boss Les Parry is hoping to sign West Brom striker Kayleden Brown on loan ahead of the trip to Walsall in the first round of the Carling Cup.
Parry is keen to bolster his strikeforce after Rovers' disappointing 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Oldham in Saturday's npower League One opener.
However, Brown is unlikely to arrive until later in the week, while Parry has also been in talks with former Tranmere forward Eugene Dadi and another unidentified striker.
Parry has no new injury concerns and said he expects skipper Ian Thomas-Moore to fight for the cause despite him handing in a transfer request last week.
