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 National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
