West Bromwich Albion were keen to sell Kamil Grosicki in the January transfer window as they wanted his £2.04m-a-year salary off the wage bill, but the out-of-favour 32-year-old turned down approaches from Nottingham Forest and FC Dijon to stay at The Hawthorns.

According to the Express & Star today, the Baggies did not receive any recent approaches for the Poland winger.

Since the window shut, Legia Warsaw manager Czeslaw Michniewicz has admitted an interest in the 32-year-old but has conceded that the feeling needs to be mutual before any progress can be made. Grosicki’s agent Tomasz Hajto revealed that there had also been interest from Turkish outfits Hatayspor and Fatih Karagümrük in recent days.

Sam Allardyce has been public about his desire to be rid of the former Hull City man, revealing only weeks ago that the club won’t stand in his way of a departure, but the 32-year-old hasn’t accepted any offers which have come his way. Although Grosicki was reportedly open to halving his wages amid interest from Legia, Albion still don’t have anything concrete to which to respond.

Matt Phillips, Robert Snodgrass, Grady Diangana, Matheus Pereira and Callum Robinson are ahead of Grosicki in the pecking order, resulting in the Polish winger making just three Premier League appearances this season, so there doesn’t appear to be any way back for him.

West Brom are probably going to have to terminate Grosicki’s contract, because there aren’t willing suitors ready to pay his wages and playing him isn’t likely to benefit their survival hopes.

This tiresome situation shows no sign of being resolved any time soon.
