Brentford insist Ivan Toney is not for sale after securing Premier League promotion.
Former Newcastle striker Toney has been linked with a move away this season.
But Brentford's co-director of football Rasmus Ankerson told Sky Sports: "Ivan has done amazingly this season and if we hadn't have gone up then there would have been lots of Premier League interest in him.
"Obviously now it's a different situation. We would have had to look at that, but that's not a new thing for Brentford.
"Season after season, player trading has been a big part of our business model.
"We have to buy cheap, sell expensive and then reinvest the money into improving the team. It's not going to be a very different Brentford that we see in the future."
