ABERDEEN have rejected a reported £500,000 bid from Cardiff for winger Jonny Hayes.
Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock contacted his Dons counterpart Derek McInnes earlier this week to discuss the Irishman.
Now the Welsh outfit have followed up with an official approach.
But the Pittodrie side say the offer does not match their valuation of the 29-year-old Republic of Ireland international.
Hayes, who has another 18 months left on his Reds deal, is currently with the rest of McInnes’ squad at their Dubai winter training camp.
Aberdeen said in a statement: “The club has confirmed that it received a bid late last night for winger Jonny Hayes from Cardiff City which has been rejected.”
Speaking to RedTV, McInnes added: “The bid fell way short of our valuation and that Jonny, as with all the squad, remains an integral part of the plans for the second half of the season.”
