Wigan Athletic<\/a> chairman Dave Whelan has cast doubts over a move for Bolton Wanderers<\/a> goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi<\/a> by admitting that the two clubs have failed to reach an agreement over the fee for the 29-year-old.<\/p>\n

Al-Habsi had a fine season for the Latics as Roberto Martinez\u2019s men beat the drop into the Championship, with the club keen to secure him on a permanent deal this summer.<\/p>\n

However, so far they have seen two bids for the Oman international rejected and Whelan revealed that Bolton are holding out for more money.<\/p>\n

“They’re trying to get more money out of us, but we’ve told them straight, we’re not paying any more money,\u201d he told the Evening Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Whelan also revealed that the Latics met the \u00a33 million asking price Bolton quoted them last summer, only for The Trotters to up their valuation.<\/p>\n

“We’ve made our offer, and we’re sitting on the fence at the moment,” he added.<\/p>\n

“They’re trying to get more money out of us, but we’ve told them straight, we’re not paying any more money.<\/p>\n

“We saw our first bid turned down, which we thought we might, and our second offer remains on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wigan chairman also insisted that his club would not increase their offer despite rumoured interest from Aston Villa, meaning that the move could fail to materialise.<\/p>\n

“It’s our fullest and final offer. The offer is what we were quoted for last summer – \u00a33 million.”<\/p>\n
