Al Nassr walked away from chasing Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma after the Japanese star’s club rejected a €65 million offer. The deal shows how clubs protect their assets, even when Middle‑East money is on the table.

In another shock, Tottenham’s rumored interest in South African striker Lebogang Manyama fizzled out as the player chose to stay with his current team for more playing time. It reminds us that not every headline leads to a contract – personal fit matters just as much as cash.
