The France international, 25, was close to a £6m move to Birmingham City in January but is now expected to have some of Europe's leading clubs battle for his signature.
Whelan said: "There is quite a lot of interest in Zoggy. He has said to me I've enjoyed my time at Wigan but I want to move on to other things. "He's very proud now of playing for France again and he feels a bigger club would be better for him for selection for France, for which we have to agree and I've said we will not stand in his way.
"If a player comes in saying he's unhappy playing for Wigan Athletic, I want to move - I'm not going to say you can't move.
"I'm going to say okay, we'll put you on the list, try and find you a club, as long as we get the right fee, we're going to let you go."
