Curtis Main looks to have played his last game in a St Mirren shirt.
Stephen Robinson admits the striker looks likely to move on to pastures new this summer.
The powerful striker has been a revelation under the Buddies boss this season, scoring nine goals and contributing with six assists in all competitions.
As much as the gaffer would love to keep the Englishman at the SMiSA Stadium, the money on offer from clubs even in League Two totally dwarfs what St Mirren can pay.
He conceded: "Curtis is very unlikely to stay, when you are getting double and triple your money offers in England's League One and Two then you need to just admit that you are not going to get there.
"Curtis has been absolutely excellent for me, he's been terrific every time he has played and he's earned the right for possibly one big move. Even today he was playing with an injection in his foot and he's given absolutely everything so that's the kind of quality people we have inside this building and I wish him nothing but the best if he moves on."

St Mirren may not have tasted victory in the top six, but it's an achievement they want to repeat next term.
The goal was to push on and try to reach the European places. That wasn't to be, but there's no reason that the Buddies can't push on next term. That's certainly the message from Robinson.
He added: "We have fallen short for Europe but that's understandable but it's a building block but my job is to run the football club prudently to make sure we don't get into the debts we had previously but also try to build a successful squad. That is the challenge and it's one we are right up for."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
