90min reports on Kaoru Mitoma's decision to reject Chelsea's interest and his imminent contract agreement with Brighton. Kaoru Mitoma has rejected interest from Chelsea and is close to agreeing a new contract with Brighton.

Kaoru Mitoma, a Japanese forward for Brighton, could be sold next summer for around 66 million pounds. Brighton may be forced to part ways with him as he enters the last two years of his contract, despite a strong desire to retain him. Chelsea is interested in strengthening their attacking lineup and sees Mitoma as a potential addition. The player's high valuation (45 million euros according to Transfermarkt) could lead to interesting negotiations next summer.

Kaoru Mitoma has been identified as a key transfer target for Chelsea. They are reportedly willing to spend €90m on the Japan international. Mitoma scored in both of Brighton’s recent wins over Chelsea, including a sublime opening goal in the Premier League fixture.

Chelsea are ready to pay £75m to sign Brighton & Hove Albion winger Kaoru Mitoma. The Japan international, who recently opened the scoring against Enzo Maresca's side on Friday, is on the Blues' radar as they look to bolster their attacking options. Source: Fichajes - Spain.
