Rovers will be extremely reluctant to accept the approach as they intend on plotting a bright future with McCann in charge of the side.
But the wishes of the manager himself will have a major bearing on how the next few days play out.
In the meantime, Rovers are poised to announce their third signing of the summer with a midfielder set to join on Thursday.
McCann has been heavily involved with the finalising of any deals this week despite the speculation over his future.
