Paul Clement insists Gylfi Sigurdsson will only leave Swansea if the club's sizeable valuation is met.
Swansea have put a £50m price tag on the 27-year-old Iceland international amid strong interest from Everton and Leicester, with the club desperate to keep their player of the year.
Sigurdsson is set to join the Swans' pre-season tour to the United States on Thursday and head coach Clement says he is planning for the Icelandic playmaker to be at the club when their Premier League season begins on August 12.
"Gylfi has been an excellent player here," Clement the official Swansea website.
"He has three years on his contract and if any business is going to be done, it will be done on the terms we want.
"The club recognised his contribution by giving him an extended contract last season. He was happy to stay on here.
"At the moment he is a Swansea player and we have to carry on looking at it that way."
Former Tottenham player Sigurdsson was Swansea's talisman as the side escaped relegation from the Premier League last season, scoring nine league goals and providing 13 assists.
Only two other players, Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne and Tottenham's Christian Eriksen, boasted more goals and assists to their teams than Sigurdsson, who was named the club's player of the year for the second successive campaign.
"He is training hard and straightaway he is at the top of all the statistics physically," Clement added.
"I am planning for him to be here, but there is clearly some very strong interest in him. We will have to see what happens."
