Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola admits time is running out to keep hold of Liam Kelly.
The defender's deal is running down and has Liverpool and Newcastle both keen.
Iraola told the Daily Echo: “Obviously every week I think it becomes more difficult.
“You have the hopes that he continues with us, but you have been part of the game for a lot of years and you know every week that passes, probably it becomes less likely that he renews.
“But right now, my main focus is that he continues focused on the games.
“He played really well the other day. That's what we are trying to do with him."
He added: “It is not my job, talking about their contractual situations. I don't know how much they earn, I don't know these kind of things.
“It's not my department let's say."
