Transfer: Barcelona eye move for Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma

Barcelona are interested in securing a deal for Brighton standout Kaoru Mitoma, according to recent reports from Spain. The LaLiga giants’ scouts have been captivated by the winger’s exceptional dribbling skills and goal-scoring prowess.

Of note to Barcelona is that the Japanese international’s contract with Brighton concludes in 2025, potentially paving the way for a deal next summer when the Seagulls are anticipated to capitalize on their asset.

Mitoma has notably stood out as one of the premier attackers in the English Premier League since the onset of the previous season. He impressively registered 10 goals and eight assists across various competitions in the 2022/23 campaign. Additionally, he has already contributed to seven goals in 11 matches during the ongoing season.

According to the report, Barcelona’s head coach Xavi is particularly interested in bolstering the left-wing position within his squad, as most of his current options, including Raphinha, Ferran Torres, and Lamine Yamal, prefer operating from the right flank. While the club’s primary focus is securing a holding midfielder, they are also keen on pursuing a potential move for Mitoma.
