Odion Ighalo is set to spark a frenzied scrap for his signature this summer.
Watford wanted to keep their star player in the January window but have a gentleman’s agreement to listen to offers.
Manchester United, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid lead the race for the striker, 26, who turned down a £40 million (N1.4 trillion) switch to China.
The Hornets’ owners believe he could get them into Europe if his form continues and resisted approaches for him.
But they will not stand in the hitman’s way when the big clubs come calling and they could get £12 million for him at the end of this season.
