Coventry City: Potential Alan Browne alternative has just been released by Brighton –
Coventry City will be looking to add a number of midfield additions, as outgoings from that department seem highly likely.
Among those who have or could be leaving the club are Ben Sheaf, Callum O’Hare and former captain Liam Kelly, with Sheaf attracting interest from elsewhere, O’Hare out of contract and unlikely to sign a new deal, whilst Kelly has already left and signed a deal with Rotherham United.
This means the Sky Blues scouting department will be working overtime to secure potential replacements as they head into the 2023-24 season.
Names such as Alvyn Sanches and Marko Stamenić have been linked with the club, but for Coventry fans, you can imagine that out-of-contract Alan Browne is of the most interest.
The Preston North End skipper has featured over 300 times in the division and would be an experienced addition to the young squad.
Financially, though, it may prove difficult and there is a player who has just left Brighton and Hove Albion who could prove a good alternative.
Alan Browne signing may prove difficult for Coventry City
Able to feature anywhere across the midfield, it was no surprise to hear of Coventry’s interest in signing Alan Browne.
But, if the Sky Blues want him, it seems likely that they will have to significantly improve their offer.
This comes after Alan Nixon reported that Preston North End have increased their offer in a bid to keep Browne at Deepdale, offering him a “record” deal.
Mark Robins’ side are believed to be struggling to provide similar terms for the midfielder and with this in mind, there is likely a cheaper alternative elsewhere.
