Coventry Close to Club-Record £22.5m Rushworth Signing

Sky Blues are pushing hard to finalize a permanent deal for Carl Rushworth, with sources indicating the Brighton loanee is set to become Coventry City's most expensive signing ever. The deal is structured around an initial £22.5 million ($29.9m) fee, eclipsing anything the Championship side has previously paid. Rushworth, who spent last season at the Coventry Building Society Arena on loan, has already proven his value between the sticks. Talks are in an advanced stage, and an announcement is expected in the coming days if everything goes smoothly.
