Peter Ridsdale admits he is unsure as to whether teenage star Aaron Ramsey will be at Cardiff next season.
The 17-year-old is believed to be attracting interest from Premier League giants Arsenal and Manchester United and could be set to leave Ninian Park in the near future.
The Bluebirds would require around £5million to part company with the Welsh international, but that is unlikely to pose a problem to interested top flight parties.
Ramsey is regarded as the hottest property to come out of Wales since Ryan Giggs, and Cardiff chairman Ridsdale is expecting the big boys to come knocking during the close season.
"I don't know what is going to happen, I can't guess what is going to happen," the former Leeds chief told the South Wales Echo.
"I don't know if Manchester United or anyone else are going to come in with a firm bid for any of our players.
"But if a bid does come in and it meets our valuation, or the player concerned says they want to go, we will deal with it.
"The ideal scenario is for us to keep our players, but that is not something which is likely.
"I would expect some comings and goings in the summer, but we would do that in the best way possible to make sure we are even stronger at the start of next season than we were when we finished this one."
