Coventry City Makes Third Bid for Matt Grimes

Coventry City is persistently pursuing Swansea City captain Matt Grimes, having made a third bid for the midfielder after two previous offers were rejected. Grimes, who recently signed a contract extension with Swansea until 2027, is considered a crucial player for the team, and his move would be a significant loss for the struggling Swansea side, currently 17th in the Championship. A potential transfer to Frank Lampard's Coventry could offer Grimes a substantial pay rise. Coventry, currently 12th in the league and on a three-match winning streak, views Grimes as an essential reinforcement for their midfield. Reports suggest that a bid between £3.5 million and £4 million might suffice to secure Grimes, who has made 333 appearances for Swansea and is noted for his ball retention and team movement skills. The transfer window closes next Monday, adding urgency to the negotiations.
