Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean is confident of receiving a big fee if Junior Hoilett's proposed move to Queens Park Rangers goes through.
The 22-year-old winger, who has been with the Lancashire club since 2003, has reportedly agreed personal terms with QPR.
Although Hoilett is out of contract at Ewood Park, Rovers must receive a fee from his next employers because he is under the age of 24.
Kean said: "QPR might make us an offer, if not it might go to a tribunal. We were always hopeful he would go to a club here because the compensation would be greater.
"Manchester City got a chunky figure when Daniel Sturridge went to Chelsea. We have had Junior for a long time and we developed him and put a lot of time and effort into him.
"I am sure that will be reflected when the time comes."
Hoilett made 81 Premier League appearances for Rovers, scoring 12 goals.
