Council leader David Mellen says he wants the club to stay but a rent increase is "only fair".
Talks between the club and council stalled over the authority's demand the current £250,000 rent is increased to £1m.
Mr Mellen said: "We think the Trent Bridge area is the best place for the club to remain and we will work with them to achieve a settlement that allows that to happen."
He added the council - which has declared itself effectively bankrupt and announced a series of wide-ranging cuts - was willing to negotiate but could not give "mate's rates".
