COVENTRY City remain in talks with Brighton and Hove Albion over the signing of goalkeeper Carl Rushworth.
According to Sky Sports News, the Sky Blues remain keen to sign Rushworth despite seeing a club-record £20million bid knocked back by the Seagulls.
And Sky report Coventry went back to Brighton with improved terms only for the Seagulls to once again turn down the proposal.
Rushworth won the Championship golden glove award after recording 17 clean sheets on loan at Coventry last season.
The goalkeeper 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 Dutch shot-stopper Bart Verbruggen and veteran goalkeeper Jason Steele on their books.
Coventry have made one signing so far in the summer window after turning midfielder Frank Onyeka’s loan move into a permanent deal.
The Sky Blues have also reportedly agreed a club-record deal to sign defender Aurele Amenda from Bundesliga side Frankfurt.
