Blackburn Rovers are determined to hang onto star winger David Bentley.
But a senior Blackburn source told The Sun: "It's not right to say David has turned down a new contract because we haven't actually put one in front of him yet.
"But we've been in talks so it's fair to assume we haven't made great progress.
"If he wants to keep with the status quo, then that's fine - we'll carry on as we were before. We don't have to sell."
