Bayern Munich take interest in Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma | OneFootball

Bundesliga record champions FC Bayern Munich are reportedly eyeing up Brighton & Hove Albion winger Kaoru Mitoma as a potential replacement for departing German winger Leroy Sané. This claim has been made by German transfer expert Christian Falk of Sport Bild on the Bayern Insider Podcast.

Falk claims that FCB scouts have traveled to East Sussex several times to scout the 27-times-capped Japanese international. The current Bundesliga champions explore the possibility of acquiring the 28-year-old from his Premier League side for a price tag of €40-45m.

Falk also reports that Bayern’s interest in Marseille winger Luis Henrique is unlikely to yield anything. The Brazilian attacker, per Falk, appears more likely to switch to Inter Milan.

Mitoma scored ten goals and contributed three assists in 35 EPL appearances for the Seagulls this season and can actually play a wide variety of attacking positions.

Mitoma’s technical ability, pace, and dynamism render him one of the more interesting players to watch in the English top flight.
