Kaoru Mitoma is not expected to leave until his contract with Brighton is renewed, so the English club may face the need to sell the player before the winter transfer window.. TEAMtalk reports about this.
Negotiations for a new settlement with the Japanese winger have reached a dead end. Mitoma himself is not yet ready to take on a long-term commitment, as there is interest from other clubs.
The official contract of the 29-year-old footballer with Brighton is up to 2027..
Since the parties are not concerned about the continuation of the property, the club runs the risk of spending one of its key players without losses already in the coming summer.
Mitoma will play for Brighton in 2022 after the season on loan at the Belgian Union Saint-Gilloise. In the summer of 2023, he signed a new four-year contract with the club, which is valid until the summer of 2027. In the entire hour, he played 135 matches in the English club, scoring 27 goals and providing 21 assists in all tournaments.
