FC Brno have rejected an offer from Middlesbrough for goalkeeper
Martin Lejsal.
Though a keeper is not thought to be a priority for Boro boss
Gareth Southgate in January, Lejsal has been linked with a move to
The Riverside over the past month.
His Czech club FC Brno are thought to be open to letting the player
leave, but have knocked back Boro's opening gambit.
Major shareholder Roman Pros confirmed an offer had been turned
down, but expects further talks regarding a deal.
"We continue on with discussions," Pros told the club's official
website.
"We have arranged another meeting with his agent Pavel Zika on
Friday.
"The fee which has been offered to us for Martin is not
acceptable."
Lejsal has previously declared he would be happy to move to the
Premiership, although he would prefer to then return to FC Brno on
loan for the second half of the season.
