Liverpool are closely monitoring the progress of Brighton’s talented winger, Kaoru Mitoma. The 26-year-old Japan international made a significant impact last season, and his standout performance included a pivotal role in knocking Liverpool out of the FA Cup.

Such noteworthy displays have naturally sparked speculation about Mitoma’s future, with suggestions that he could potentially command a substantial transfer fee. Brighton, on the other hand, is eager to secure a contract extension for the talented winger.

According to a recent report by 90min.com via ECHO, Liverpool find themselves among an illustrious group of suitors interested in securing the services of Mitoma. Alongside Liverpool, other prominent clubs like Manchester City, Barcelona, and Napoli have also shown keen interest in the player.
