Brighton has turned down a £20m bid from Coventry City for goalkeeper Carl Rushworth. The decision highlights Brighton's long-term planning, considering Rushworth's successful loan spell with Coventry, where he played every match in the Championship, earning 17 clean sheets. Despite Coventry's interest in making Rushworth's transfer permanent after their title-winning campaign, Brighton's management views his potential as greater than the bid. The club has no immediate pressure to sell, as Rushworth's contract runs for another year with an option for an extension.
