Ben Davies reckons Swansea skipper Ashley Williams is worth every penny of his £10million price tag.
But the Wales defender has urged his team-mate for club and country to turn down interest from Arsenal and Liverpool.
Williams, 28, extended his contract to 2015 last October.
And Swansea are determined to cash-in on their captain if he decides to move after five successful seasons at the Liberty Stadium.
Davies said: "A price of £10million for Ash is completely justified when you see some of the money being spent, especially on foreign players who are unproven in the Premier League.
"That would be a fair price but it would still be a massive loss for us.
"Last season he was one of the best centre-halves in the league, especially when you consider the team he is in and doesn't have the very best midfielders in front of him helping out."
Swansea have already brought in Spain Under-21 defender Jordi Amat from Espanyol.
But 20-year-old Davies admits it would be a major blow to lose a player who has been key to his emergence with Swansea and Wales.
Davies said: "Ash has had a big influence on me. He gave me a lot of confidence on the pitch and made the transition from Swansea to Wales very easy for me.
"If we do lose him to a bigger team then we will have to adapt pretty quickly. Hopefully our new signing [Amat] can be just as good, if not better."
