Glamorgan chairman Paul Russell has confirmed that several other counties have shown an interest in veteran off-spinner Robert Croft.
The 39-year-old is out of contract at the end of the summer, although a new deal is on the table with Glamorgan.
Russell told BBC Sport Wales: "I'm certain there are other clubs who are after him, he's a fine bowler and a fine clubman.
"If I were a county chairman knowing Robert Croft might be available, I'd be making every effort to secure him.
"We're dealing with highly sensitive and confidential matters here, particularly with Robert who has been such an outstanding servant of and contributor to the club and is arguably the finest ambassador we've ever had.
"You add together all the England caps won by other Glamorgan players and they don't come to half what Robert has achieved.
"So it's a confidential matter which is under discussion."
