Fulham have rejected an initial bid from Gent for right-back Denis Odoi, Sky sources understand.
The Belgian club are keen to take the defender back to his home country and remain in talks with the Whites over a possible deal for the 29-year-old.
Belgian newspaper HLN have reported that Odoi has already completed a medical and is set to sign a four-year contract at Gent.
Sky sources understand Odoi is in Belgium, having returned home for the post-season break.
Odoi made 33 appearances under Slavisa Jokanovic last season following a move from Lokeren, including 21 Sky Bet Championship starts.
The right-back, who has a single cap for Belgium, began his career at Oud-Heverlee Leuven before spells with Sint-Truiden and Anderlecht.
