It is the heyday of Kaoru Mitoma (25, Brighton & Hove Albion), the Japanese national team midfielder. It won’t be long before he, who is like a melting pot, will receive the title of ‘Japan’s best’.
Mitoma scored 6 goals and 3 assists in 20 메이저사이트 league appearances in his first season at Brighton. After putting Japan in the round of 16 at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, which ended in December last year, I became more confident. Starting with Stoke City and 1 assist in the FA Cup on the 1st, the stock price is increasing with attack points (1 goal, 3 assists) in the last 4 consecutive games.
Mitoma, who was linked to a big club in the winter transfer market in January this year, stayed for now. It is expected to be a hot potato in the upcoming summer transfer market. As a result, Brighton is preparing a treatment suitable for the performance.
Success World in the UK said, “Currently, Mitoma’s annual salary is 1.02 million pounds (1.6 billion won). The highest annual salary in Brighton is 4.16 million pounds (approximately 6.6 billion won), England national team defender Lewis Dunk. If Mitoma renews the contract, there is a possibility that he will cross the dunk at once.”
If that happens, Mitoma will become the highest paid person in Japan. Shinji Kagawa (Cerezo Osaka), who played for Manchester United in the past, received 4 million pounds (6.3 billion won, estimated). It is predicted that Mitoma will surpass Kagawa sooner or later.
Mitoma’s contract expires in June 2025. England’s Team Talk announced on the 17th that “Brighton is ready to reward him with a new contract with favorable conditions.”
Team Talk journalist Graeme Bailey said: “Brighton have no intention of selling Mitoma after one season. You will be rewarded with a big contract. It’s worth it,” he said, convinced to stay.
