Chelsea have recently strengthened their squad through adding Kaoru Mitoma of Brighton & Hove Albion as they look to further bolster performance and European aspirations. Mitoma recently showcased his extraordinary ability in their triumph against Chelsea; further solidifying himself as an indispensable piece in any team’s arsenal.
Chelsea Poised to Secure “Messi-like” Talent Mitoma
Kaoru Mitoma’s stunning abilities have drawn comparisons with Lionel Messi and were widely applauded by notable figures within football. Chelsea are reported as prepared to meet Brighton’s valuation of around EUR80m for Mitoma; although no formal negotiations have yet taken place. With discussions ongoing regarding an extension to Mitoma’s contract at Brighton up until 2029 it remains uncertain whether an agreement will soon be made.
Potential Move to Saudi Arabia on the Horizon for Mitoma
Last season saw Brighton reject an EUR90m offer for Mitoma from Brighton FC despite their immense admiration of him, showing just how highly esteemed he is by Brighton fans. But as his contract will expire at Brighton this summer 2027 and assurances about future prospects cannot be provided, perhaps Al Nassr FC from Saudi Arabia might provide Mitoma an alternate destination aligning with their strategy of recruiting top talents.
Chelsea’s desire to recruit Mitoma into their squad is no secret; however, whether this becomes reality will depend on several variables; including both clubs agreeing on terms as well as his career ambitions.
