Brighton Rejects £54m Al Nassr Bid For Kaoru Mitoma As Saudi Club Prepares Huge Final Offer

An improved offer exceeding a £54 million (€65m) bid will be presented by Al Nassr for Kaoru Mitoma because they need to finalize a deal before the Friday evening cut-off in their transfer window.

The pursuit of Kaoru Mitoma by Al Nassr has not swayed Brighton from their position to keep the Japanese international player in their team.

The Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr intends to make another offer worth more than £71 million (€85m), according to Sky Italy reports, because they want to sway Brighton into signing the deal.

Al Nassr occupies the third position in their league standings and they aim to conquer the championship battle by strengthening their player roster.

Al Nassr To Strengthen Its Attack With Kaoru Mitoma

The impending 40th birthday milestone of Cristiano Ronaldo drives Al Nassr as the club executes multiple plans to strengthen its offensive line while Mitoma continues to stand as their primary priority.

The young winger joined Brighton in 2021 following his transfer from Kawasaki Frontale for £2.7 million. Union Saint-Gilloise hosted Mitoma on loan before his permanent return to Brighton which he used as an opportunity to become a vital team component.

The Japanese winger appeared with Brighton in 92 matches since his debut in August 2022 and scored 18 goals throughout all competitions.

Fabian Hürzeler leads Mitoma in all 23 Premier League matches this season where the player scored five goals. The Brighton team has shown their determination to keep Mitoma because of his reliable performances while showcasing offensive skills which has turned him into Brighton’s leading player.

Al Nassr Football Club secured Mitoma just after inking a €78 million deal for Aston Villa forward Jhon Duran as their new player. The latest transfer goal for the club involves acquiring young talented athletes instead of welcoming aging celebrity football stars to their roster.

Brighton faces a deadline decision regarding their stance following the remaining few hours of the Saudi transfer window about selling their player.
