Leeds United chairman Peter Ridsdale has said two Premiership clubs are interested in buying Lee Bowyer a day after he was placed on the transfer list for refusing to pay a fine.
"I've had two phone calls from representatives from premier league clubs enquiring what the position is but I have had no formal offers," Ridsdale told BBC Radio in an interview today.
Bowyer was cleared by a court last Friday of assault and affray charges arising from an attack on a student last year, but was fined four weeks' wages by Leeds for the drinking session before the attack.
Ridsdale, however, said he did not want Bowyer to leave, adding that if the midfielder accepted the fine he would stay.
"At no stage have I tried to drive Lee away from the club," Ridsdale said. "If he accepts the disciplinary action he can remain a Leeds player, if he doesn't he will be transferred. The position has not changed.
"I've spoken to his agent on numerous occasions over the last 24 hours, I spoke to Lee three times personally yesterday and again on the training ground today.
"I sincerely believe that at some point over the next 48 hours Lee will acknowledge that it is right and proper for the club to take disciplinary action for the fact that on that night in January 2000 he was, by his own admission, under the influence of alcohol, which is against the club's code of conduct."
