Dundee United have knocked back a major six-figure bid for Will Ferry.
Record Sport understands the offer has come in from a Major League Soccer side but is well short of United’s valuation.
It remains to be seen if the club from the Western Conference side comes back in with an increased offer before the MLS transfer window closes on Thursday night.
The Tannadice club is under no financial pressure to sell and would only let one of their prize assets go if they were to receive a significant offer.
Ferry was ranked as one of the standout full-backs in Scotland last season when it came down to the data analytics, while he also holds up well in leagues across Europe.
Hearts sold James Penrice to AEK Athens for £2million and Hibs sold Lewis Miller to Blackburn for a deal that could net them £1.5million.
Ferry is very much at that same level and it would take a decent seven figure bid to even get United to the table.
Jim Goodwin ’s side are also in a good place because Ferry is still under contract for this season and next.
The 24-year-old has also been named as United’s vice captain and also skippered them through their Conference League campaign.
Ferry’s form has also not gone unnoticed by Ireland and he is very much on the radar for a full call-up.
He has previously been capped at under-21 level but new national coach Heimir Hallgrimsson has had him scouted and he is very much in his thinking.
Ferry has been something of a coup since Goodwin signed the wing back from Cheltenham last summer and he was a key figure in their fourth place finish.
