Swansea City are ready to turn down record-breaking bids for Gylfi Sigurdsson – with the club's American owners adamant they're keeping the Liberty's star man.

And even an offer of £40m would not necessarily tempt the board into changing their stance as they look to hold firm in a summer of speculation over the Swans idol.

Sigurdsson, Swansea's player of the season, is known to be wanted by a host of rival clubs with Tottenham and Everton among those keen on landing the No.10 ahead of next season.

It's led to some reports that the Toffees have already agreed a £25m fee for the 27-year-old just days after the end of a Premier League season where he played a vital role in keeping the club in the top-flight.

But it's understood that figure comes nowhere near what Swansea consider their prized-asset worth having already rejected enquiries of a similar value over the past 12 months.

And Swansea majority shareholder Steve Kaplan has told WalesOnline that there's no appetite to consider selling having held talks with the player over the weekend.

“We all know how important Gylfi is, just as he knows how much he's valued and loved here,” said Kaplan. “There's been interest in him before – there were some pretty big enquiries about him last summer and in the January window – but we didn't want to sell him then and we don't want to sell him now.

“And neither do we need to sell him. He has three years on his contract and he's part of our plans going forward under Paul Clement.

"Our aims are to make sure that we build on the successful end to the season and that doesn't include selling out best players."

Swansea are expecting for more interest in Sigurdsson and are aware that there is a danger of the player potentially having his head turned.

But Sigurdsson has already admitted he is happy at Swansea and is not thought to be ready to kick up a fuss should Swansea turn down offers – especially from anyone outside the current top four.

Kaplan and fellow majority shareholder Jason Levien were both in South Wales over the weekend for the end-of-season win over West Brom, and held talks with manager Clement. It's thought that included reassurances over Sigurdsson's situation.

In light of the reports of an agreed fee with Everton for Sigurdsson, a clubs spokesman said: "There has been no contact between Swansea City and Everton.

"As far as the owners, the chairman and the manager are concerned, they want to keep Swansea City's best players."
