The Sky Blues and Sheffield United have both been linked with the 29-year-old Republic of Ireland international this summer. However, CoventryLive understands that no new signings are imminent. Meanwhile, an approach from Italians Salernitana was rejected by Preston back in January.
The midfielder leaves Deepdale after 10 years with the club and 414 appearances. He also scored 45 times for the Lilywhites in that time.
The three-year-old offer put to Browne was considered the most lucrative in the club’s history, as Ryan Lowe & Co looked the keep the services of the popular Irishman. But the longer the stalemate continued, the less chance there was of the midfielder extending his Deepdale stay.
