COVENTRY City have seen a club-record £20million bid for goalkeeper Carl Rushworth rejected by Brighton and Hove Albion.
According to The Athletic, Brighton have turned down Coventry’s bid for the shot-stopper.
Rushworth spent the 2025/26 season on loan at Coventry from the Premier League side.
He impressed between the sticks and won the Championship’s golden glove award after recording 17 clean sheets.
Coventry want to make Rushworth’s loan move permanent this summer.
However, Brighton have knocked back Coventry’s first offer for the player.
Rushworth has one year left on his current deal at Brighton although the Seagulls hold an option to extend his contract by a further year.
Brighton currently have World Cup-bound Dutch shot-stopper Bart Verbruggen and veteran goalkeeper Jason Steele on their books.
