COVENTRY City have made a club-record £20million bid to bring on-loan goalkeeper Carl Rushworth back to the club in a permanent deal.
According to Sky Sports, the Sky Blues have submitted a bid worth £20m to Rushworth’s parent club Brighton.
Rushworth recorded 17 clean sheets to win the Championship’s golden glove award last season.
The 24-year-old played a starring role as Coventry lifted the Championship title to secure a return to the Premier League after 25 years away.
He started all 46 of the club’s league games this season.
The fee discussed would eclipse Coventry’s current record transfer after the club paid £7.7m to sign striker Haji Wright in August 2023.
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.
