Mitoma Contract Talks Stall as Spurs and Liverpool Watch

Stalled renewal talks plus his ongoing hamstring rehab increase the chance Brighton will sell in January to avoid a free exit next summer.

Overview

  • Mitoma is in the final year of his Brighton contract, renewal negotiations have stalled, and multiple outlets report his future at the AMEX is now uncertain.
  • Tottenham are watching with a reunion with former Brighton coach Roberto De Zerbi reported as a live possibility while Liverpool continue long‑term monitoring of the winger.
  • Mitoma underwent surgery for a hamstring injury in May and is on a cautious rehabilitation programme, which is limiting immediate transfer interest and any January bids.
  • Brighton face a trade‑off between accepting a reduced fee in the January window or keeping Mitoma and risking his departure on a free transfer when his deal ends in June 2027.
  • Several other European clubs have been linked historically and scouts see value in Mitoma’s Premier League record, so the club’s next steps could reshape recruiting plans for both Brighton and potential suitors.
