The creative midfielder is out of contract in the summer and therefore, available on a free.
What’s more, his current side is slipping towards relegation in the Championship.
If the Latics were to go down, it’s even less likely the £3.15m-rated [Transfermarkt] attacking midfielder would strike a late contract extension.
