The Aberdeen born player who turns 24 this week has already stated that he wants to stay at the club.
This is a further boost to the Dons who will tie Phil McGuire up on a three year deal by the end of the month.
The deal to keep McGuire has been agreed - but has not been signed yet due to Phil's agent - John Viola being out of the country.
It is thought that AFC are offering players a 10% cut of any fee the club receive for them in the future - as an incentive to stay.
