Following the 2-1 home win over Brentford, Rowett declined to name the club likely to sign Gray - although Leicester are considered favourites to complete a £3.75million deal.
The England Under-20 international, who has also been linked with Arsenal and Liverpool, was left out of the Blues matchday squad after his release clause was met.
Rowett said: "One Premier League club met the amount required and Demarai requested permission to speak to that club.
"Should the move go through I wish him all the best. He is an ambitious young player but we have shown that we have had two games without him and done well.

"The club have done all the right things and now we will have funds to strengthen the team. We can now move the team in a different direction and use the money wisely.
"Demarai is very ambitious and desperate to play in the Premier League and he backs his own ability to fulfil that dream."
