Albion's resolve underlines their determination to retain the services of the 30-year-old midfielder, who handed in a written transfer request earlier this month.

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson has already hit out after Baggies chairman Jeremy Peace labelled the Barclays Premier League club's first offer for Greening - £2m plus a player - as "derisory".

He was further disheartened when Albion turned down a second bid of £3.25m on Monday.

Friday's developments leave the saga at a crossroads, with Hodgson facing a decision over whether to again up the bid or start looking elsewhere.

Greening has made it clear he will happily remain at The Hawthorns if an offer does not come in that matches the club's valuation.

Meanwhile, Baggies left-back Marek Cech has stressed his determination to resolve his future as soon as possible.

The Slovakia international has attracted interest from Celtic and Dutch side FC Twente, according to his agent, although West Brom are keen to retain his services.
