Fans couldn't hide their bewilderment at Saudi Arabia's Al Nasr's "greatest offer ever" toward Mithoma Kaoru.
David Onstein, a reporter for The Athletic, a global sports media outlet, said on the 31st (Korea Standard Time), "Saudi Al Nasr has submitted an official proposal to Brighton and Hove Albion to recruit Mitoma. Al Nasr sent an offer worth 65 million euros (about 94 billion won), but Brighton officially rejected it. Mitoma is the top target for Al Nasr's side reinforcement," the report said.
Mitoma is Japan's ace player in name and reality. Mitoma stood out at the Kawasaki Frontale and moved to Brighton in August 2021, going straight to the Premier League. Brighton decided that he needed to adapt to the European leagues, so he sent him on loan to Belgium's Winion Saint-Jillouise soon after his recruitment. Mitoma finished preheating by scoring eight goals and three assists in 29 official matches.
From the 2022-23 season, he has become the core of Brighton. His breakthrough on the side and clean finish by utilizing his unique explosive speed also worked in the PL. Mitoma contributed to Brighton's stellar performance by scoring 10 goals and eight assists in 41 official matches. At that time, Brighton finished the season sixth in the league, qualifying for the UEFA Europa League for the first time since its foundation.
After that, he slowed down for a while due to injury, but he regained his performance this season. His breakthrough with speed, which was his unique strength, was revitalized and he is responsible for Brighton's side attacks. Mitoma is currently cruising along with 23 league matches, with five goals and three assists.
In particular, he recently set the record of "Japan's Great History." Mittoma scored in the 22nd round of the PL against Manchester United on the 19th, setting a new record in Japanese Premier League scoring. The PL secretariat said, "Mittoma has set a new record in Japanese soccer history by scoring against Manchester United. He has become the highest scorer among Japanese players in PL history. He has scored a total of 15 goals, exceeding the 14 goals of Shinji Okazaki, who played for Leicester City in the past."
Eventually, the team was spotted by Saudi Arabian team al-Nasr, who is seeking to strengthen the team's side. Al-Nasr, who is famous for playing for Cristiano Ronaldo, is making "storm moves" in the winter transfer market. He focused his efforts on strengthening the team's offense. While weighing Victor Boniface of Leverkusen and John Duran of Aston Villa, he became close to recruiting Duran. He did not stop there, but sought side resources to work with Ronaldo, and Mitoma was chosen.
It was quick to send an "official offer." Al-Nasr offered Brighton "94 billion won," which is the highest amount of any Asian soccer player ever (the previous No. 1 ranking was about 75.5 billion won that Bayern Munich spent on recruiting Kim Min-jae in 2023). However, the club officially rejected the offer, as it was Mitoma, who is still playing as Brighton's core. Nevertheless, Onstein still explained that Mitoma is Al-Nasr's top target, hinting at the possibility of making another offer in the future.
Eventually, reports continued that the company planned to try a "second proposal" immediately. James Benji, a reporter for CBS Sports in the U.S., said, "Al-Nasr is preparing a second proposal to renew the club record to recruit Mitoma. It is worth about 90 million euros (about 135.4 billion won)." Although it has not yet sent a second official proposal, it is interpreted that the company has a strong will to recruit Mitoma. 먹튀검증
Soccer fans showed various reactions to the news. The British media Sports Bible introduced fans' reactions on Sunday by announcing their transfer to Mitoma. The fans posted comments such as "90 million euros? The soccer game is over," "I don't know if it's 90 million euros more absurd, if it's more absurd for Brighton to hesitate," and "Brighton will sell it eventually. 90 million euros is a huge amount of money. It's just a matter of time."
