And with interest reaching its biggest zenith since the summer transfer window, Galtier is not too sure if a reported €13m bid can be turned down.
When asked about the links with Manchester City, Chelsea and Monaco, Galtier told Le Progres: "I know that these three clubs are following Kurt very closely.

"I do not know if they have already made any offers. As to whether they will make any offers during the market, anything is possible.
"As a coach I'm always keen to keep my good players. We have to be careful about losing a big player in the winter, because it is not expected, but €13m is still a lot of money."
Zouma's value has been on the rise ever since he won the Under-20 World Cup with France in the summer.
He became linked to several of the aforementioned names in the summer transfer window, alongside his ex-team-mate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who gave in to Borussia Dortmund's temptations.
