Football Transfer Highlights

The biggest buzz this week comes from Saudi Arabia. Al Nassr has officially stopped chasing Brighton’s winger Kaoru Mitoma after multiple bids, including a €65 million offer, were turned down. Brighton is firm on keeping the Japanese international, saying he’s vital for their plans. This move ends any speculation about Mitoma heading to the Premier League club and shows how determined clubs can be when they believe in a player.

If you follow Asian football, this story matters because it reflects the growing pull of Middle Eastern teams on European talent. The transfer market is heating up, and deals like this shape next season’s line‑ups. Keep an eye on Al Nassr for more moves – they’ve been active lately.
