Kaoru Mitoma injury and transfer status

Overview

Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Kaoru Mitoma is currently undergoing rehabilitation for a hamstring injury sustained in May. While manager Fabian Hürzeler noted that Mitoma is working toward a return to the pitch, the club has advised patience regarding his competitive comeback.

His professional future has become a subject of speculation. Initially, reports linked Mitoma to a potential transfer to AC Milan, who viewed him as a candidate to replace Rafael Leão. However, subsequent reports indicate that stalled contract negotiations may lead to a January exit. To prevent losing the player for free when his contract expires in June 2027, Brighton may seek to sell him during the upcoming transfer window, with several Champions League clubs expressing interest.
