Despite that knockback it is understood title-chasing Boro asked about Rovers’ club record £8m signing again on Tuesday.
However, it is believed they were once more told Venky’s do not want to sell Rhodes.

Rovers were yesterday linked with a loan move for Manchester United centre-back Tyler Blackett.
