But Canaries chief Neil said the figure quoted was news to him, although he did say clubs had been in contact regarding Brady.
Earlier Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce confirmed he was an admirer of the 24-year-old, who impressed in the European Championships, while Leicester City have also been linked with a move.
“How much? Okay. We have got a strong valuation of Rob after the Euros, his age, and the fact that he is versatile in his position and the scope that he has. The position remains the same,” said Neil.
“Until a club meets our valuation he won’t be going anywhere.
“There has been contact. A lot is done through agents and what have you but nothing confirmed until a firm offer is on the table. It is not past the stage of fishing.
“Is Burnley news to me? The figure certainly is.”
