Al Nassr made an aggressive move to sign the player with an initial bid of €65m (£54.4m), which was formally rejected by Brighton. The Saudi club then prepared a second bid, potentially worth up to £90m with bonuses, including an up-front fee of £65m. However, Brighton remained firm in their decision not to sell Mitoma and indicated that there was no price for negotiation. As a result, Al Nassr decided to walk away from the deal.
