Following his spectacular goal against Chelsea, Kaoru Mitoma has been linked with a summer move to Stamford Bridge, but a €90m price tag makes the transfer highly unlikely.
Chelsea’s defensive struggles were laid bare in their 3-0 defeat to Brighton, but Kaoru Mitoma’s breathtaking goal stole the headlines. The Japanese winger showcased his exceptional skill by controlling an 80-yard pass in full stride before cutting inside and curling a shot into the net—immediately sparking transfer speculation.
Spanish outlet Fichajes reports that Chelsea are interested in Mitoma and could consider a €90m bid in the summer. However, such a move appears highly improbable given the club’s recent transfer strategy of targeting young, cost-effective signings. With 27-year-old Mitoma outside their usual age profile and Brazilian wonderkid Estevao Willian already set to join, Chelsea are unlikely to pursue the Brighton star despite his dazzling display.
