JUST IN: Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr have made an eye-catching £90m offer for Brighton’s Star, following their agreement to sign Jhon Duran in a high-profile move.
Al-Nassr are reportedly preparing a £90 million bid for Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma, following their progress in securing Jhon Duran’s transfer.
WHAT HAPPENED?
According to The Athletic, Brighton turned down Al-Nassr’s €65m (£54.4m/$67.7m) offer for the 27-year-old on Thursday.
However, CBS Sports’ James Benge reports that the Saudi Pro League club is now ready to make a final offer worth up to £90m ($112m/€107.5m). Despite this, Brighton are hesitant to part with Mitoma.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
This news comes just a day after reports suggested that Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr had reached an agreement to sign Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran. The Saudi club appears to be making a bold statement with potentially two high-profile signings.
DID YOU KNOW?
Mitoma joined Brighton from Japanese club Kawasaki Frontale in 2021, later spending the 2022 season on loan at Union SG in Belgium. Since joining the Seagulls, he has scored 18 goals in 92 appearances.
WHAT’S NEXT?
With the Premier League transfer window closing on February 3, but the Saudi window ending on January 31, there’s limited time for a potential Mitoma deal to be completed.
