Coventry City CEO Tim Fisher has said that he is looking for exclusivity on a couple of sites for the new stadium.
Prologis Park in Ansty and a site near to Baginton have been muted as possible venues and speaking to Press Association Sport, Mr Fisher said: "We've got a small number of sites which we are negotiating with, we are looking to get into exclusivity. Within the next week for sure for one, and potentially the second within a week as well.
"It will be in the Coventry area, we've got a number of sites both in the north and all around the Coventry boundary. They are very, very close.
"Ideally I'd like to get exclusivity on two, simply because it gives you the right to exclusive negotiation to close them and, frankly, you don't go into the final furlong of a horse race (with one), you want to get two lined up.
"Then we'll have the whole development of the scheme, the masterplan and all the commissioning that will be required.
"On Friday, we've got the beauty parade of architects, we've got the highways consultant - we are pushing like crazy.
"The model is Rotherham's New York Stadium, it's a great stadium. It's modular so it grows as the club grows.
"Attendance? Around 18,000, and I will argue that 18,000 is enough. Then if things go well over time, it grows.
"Also, all around the bottom of the site, we want to add a scheme and that is going to be where the real value is in this because there will be a mix of commercial, residential - again, depending on the final site we go with.
"And this is why I really like Rotherham United's model because it's set up so they're building a hotel, it's by the river Rother where it's designated as regeneration so built into the bottom of the stadium are retail units, cafes, you name it, it's brilliant."
