WESTERN Sydney Wanderers won't be bounced into re-signing Youssouf Hersi as the Dutch winger seeks a deal of more than $500,000 to stay with the ­Premiers next season.
Newcastle Jets became the latest side to be linked with Hersi this week, but The Daily Telegraph understands that all interested parties have been taken aback by Hersi's salary expectations - with a two-year deal also his preference.
Sydney FC have already made inquiries, though it's understood their interest has cooled despite Hersi's barnstorming first season in Australian football as a major factor in Western Sydney reaching last year's grand final, as well as finishing top in the regular season.
Aware of the timing of the Jets' interest becoming public - on the eve of Saturday's encounter between the two teams at Hunter Stadium - the Wanderers declined to be drawn on it, with chairman Lyall Gorman prepared only to talk in general terms.
"As a club we've built our playing roster for the league and Asian Champions League campaigns, and it's certainly not our practice to release players in Janaury," Gorman said of the suggestion that Hersi could even leave when the transfer window opens next month.

"Our policies are all about giving players the security and environment to flourish, and clearly that works both ways, whoever the player is. We're in talks with a number of players about next season, and in all cases there's no rush to finalise anything."
Hersi struggled with a succession of injuries amid a peripatetic career before joining Western Sydney and making as many appearances in a single season as he had since 2004, thanks to the Wanderers' highly regarded conditioning regime.
A severely bruised toe sustained in the Sydney derby kept him out for four weeks, but he started last weekend in the 1-1 draw with Melbourne the Heart and is expected to face the Jets.
Newcastle coach Gary van Egmond is likely to stick with Jacob Pepper as right-back in light of Scott Neville's season-ending injury, with marquee striker Emile Heskey also having to be content with a place on the bench.
"It will be pretty much the same starting XI for this game, but on the bench there may be a few areas that we might look at so that we ensure that we get the right balance for this match," van Egmond said.
Meanwhile, reports that Juventus have signed off on a deal to play against the A-League All-Stars in August appear premature.
It's understood a deal was close a fortnight ago, but the prospects appear to have receded because Juventus are likely to have more than a dozen players at next year's World Cup.
