Ghana defender Mensah enhanced his reputation at the World Cup
|
Reading have made a club record £3.5m bid for Rennes defender John Mensah.
"We're waiting for things to happen. We're not in a position to start the ball rolling," Royals boss Steve Coppell told the Reading Chronicle.
"We depend on others, and our resources are such that we're waiting for the fall-out on other deals."
Mensah, 23, was an ever-present at the centre of Ghana's defence at the World Cup and signed a new three-year contract with Rennes in April.
Coppell also confirmed that he has earmarked several other targets as he looks towards the new Premiership season.
