Tugay won 94 caps for Turkey before retiring from internationals

The 37-year-old, who joined Blackburn from Rangers in 2001, has made 253 appearances for Rovers.

"We haven't spoken to Tugay's advisors," Hughes told BBC Lancashire.

"We're talking to a number of players at the moment and it's just a case of going through the list and seeing where we are with them."

We all just wish that he was 26, and not in his late 30s Blackburn boss Mark Hughes

Hughes has admitted he has a difficult decision over Tugay's future.

"It's the state of mind with Tugay. He is an outstanding footballer and one of very few players of his type still plying his trade.

"He's a great guy and no decision has been made one way or the other.

"We all just wish that he was 26, and not in his late 30s. Maybe he would be elsewhere if he was 26 because he's that good."

Hughes also confirmed talks are ongoing with four first-team players to extend their deals - including striker Benni McCarthy and midfielder David Bentley.

"In the next three or four weeks I would imagine all the contracts will be resolved and we can see where we are going next year," Hughes added.
