Manchester City Manchester City, Manchester United Manchester United and Chelsea will clash over recruiting players.
British media "Football Transfers" reported on the 12th that "Man City, Manchester United and Chelsea are fiercely competing in the recruitment of Mitoma Kaoru 26, Brighton, who is missing Barcelona."
Mitoma is currently considered one of Japan's best players. Since joining Brighton in 2021, he has emerged as one of Asia's top players through a loan deal with Union SG in Belgium.
This is evidenced by his stellar performance in the last season. In all competitions, Mitoma posted 10 goals and eight assists in 41 matches, proving not only his dribbling ability but also his determination.
He has displayed stellar performance in this season as well. Although he slowed down due to ankle injury recently, his three goals and six assists in 25 games were enough to have expectations for his future growth potential.
Rumors of Barcelona transfer were initially raised as a strong possibility. Barcelona, which is struggling financially, reportedly pushed for a deal to completely transfer Ansu Fati, 21, who is currently on loan from Brighton, and bring Mitoma.
The reality did not go as Barcelona had planned. The party has only scored four goals in 16 matches due to injury this season. The prevailing view is that the party will not be interested in fully recruiting the party this summer.
In the end, it seems that they are moving away from the recruitment of Mitoma. According to the report, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea are exploring the possibility of recruiting Mitoma ahead of the transfer market this summer.
It is not without possibility. Brighton recently agreed to buy left wing Ibrahim Ousmane from Norcellan this summer. As Mitoma's replacement is ready, chances are high that he will be allowed to transfer if an appropriate offer is made. 토토사이트
However, it is inevitable that he will have to pay considerable amount of transfer fee to recruit him. "Brighton is not willing to sell Mitoma at a cheap price. He is asking for 60 million euros about 86 billion won for his transfer fee," the Football Transfers said.
