SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY owner Dejphon Chansiri still wants a staggering £100m for the troubled club.
The Owls are still in debt and face signing restrictions with a reduced squad.
Wednesday missed player pay days for two consecutive months in June and July.
Earlier this month, SunSport reported that Chansiri owes more than £4million in football debts — which will have to be paid by whoever buys the club.
The extent of the cash woes emerged during takeover bids by several groups in the prior weeks.
Earlier this month it was reported that US businessman Tilman Fertitta was in talks to buy the crisis club.
Fertitta, 68, is the US ambassador for Italy and is an ally of Donald Trump.
The businessman also owns the Houston Rockets in the NBA.
Wednesday manager Danny Rohl initially did not show up for pre season amid the club’s woes.
The 36-year-old eventually returned but has had to work with a threadbare squad.
The Owls beat Mansfield 2-0 in a training ground friendly yesterday.
Club stalwarts Barry Bannan and Callum Paterson did not feature, despite having trained with the Owls in recent weeks.
Both players have been out of contract since June 30.
It remains to be seen whether Wednesday’s sorry situation will have improved by their Championship opener against Leicester City on August 10.
