On BBC CWR’s newest episode of The Sky Blues Fancast, Coventry City followers Alex and Ged mentioned whether or not they had been nervous about succeeding in signing Carl Rushworth from Brighton.
Just over a yr in the past, the Sky Blues introduced the signing of Rushworth from Brighton on a season-long mortgage.
Ged advised BBC CWR: “It has become a saga now. It has gone on for too long.
“We have been speaking about it for the reason that finish of final season. It appeared clear to us that Rushworth needed to remain.”
Brighton have already rejected a £25m bid for the 25-year-old, and the Seagulls have reportedly tagged Rushworth with a £40m fee.
Alex said: “Rushworth is not going to one of many huge six sides, however he’s nonetheless a participant that Brighton know they’ll make some huge cash on. The reported payment £40m does appear lots. That would make him some of the costly goalkeepers ever.”
If Coventry were to seal the deal with a £40m bid, Rushworth would be ranked as the fourth most expensive goalkeeper in Premier League history, with only Kepa Arrizabalaga, Alisson Becker and Andre Onana moving to a Premier League club for more money.
Ged added: “Brighton are clearly on the lookout for essentially the most sum of money they’ll get. One factor that’s possibly regarding is that I do not know what plan B is.
“If we do sign Rushworth, he doesn’t need to do much to settle into the club. That will be a bonus.”
