Ebbsfleet United expect to receive offers for goalkeeper Nathan Ashmore this summer.
They turned down significant bids for Ashmore in January and since then the 28-year-old has been voted Fleet's player-of-the-year.
Manager Daryl McMahon thinks clubs will "probably" renew their interest in him at the end of the season.
McMahon said: "We turned down a couple of bids for Ash in January.
"There's probably two, three, maybe four players in our squad who people will look at and would like to take but we'll deal with that in the summer.
"We haven't got anyone, who someone would want to buy, out of contract."
Ashmore has been ever-present in the National League, helping Fleet boast the division's sixth-best defensive record.
Transfer talk mid-season certainly didn't seem to distract him.
Ashmore said: "I knew there was interest but I try to stay away from it.
"I just want to concentrate on the club I'm playing for and that's Ebbsfleet. I'm enjoying my football.
"We've got two games left and I'm still here for next season.
"It's all down to the club and I'm happy to stay."
Ashmore has made 113 appearances since joining Fleet from Gosport Borough in March 2016.
McMahon said: "I think he's (still) getting better, just down to the fact he's not been doing full-time training (previously).
"His attitude, his application, his desire to get better, you can't give that to people and he's got it in abundance.
"He's a real good character in the changing-room."
