Barcelona shows interest in the extreme Kaoru Mitoma

FC Barcelona is eyeing Kaoru Mitoma, a 26-year-old winger at Brighton in the Premier League, as one of the standout players in English football this season. The Japanese international has impressed Barcelona’s scouts with his skill in breaking down defenses, scoring, and generating chances from the left wing. Although the club has other priorities, including securing a defensive midfielder, the urgency for a left winger has increased following Ansu Fati’s exit.

According to *Mundo Deportivo*, Mitoma is highly regarded for his versatility, excelling with his left foot and performing as a complete winger. His quick changes of direction, precise shooting, pace, and ability to use both feet make him a standout player. Additionally, his aerial prowess adds value to his skillset.

Mitoma was signed by Brighton for four million euros in 2021, with his contract running until 2025. While a possible transfer is speculated for next summer, particularly if his contract isn’t renewed, his price tag is expected to be high, as Brighton is known for tough negotiations when it comes to letting players leave

Barcelona is evaluating their transfer options, and the prospect of adding Mitoma is creating buzz within the team. As negotiations progress, the club plans to finalize a strategy to acquire the talented winger and bolster their squad for future competitions.
