Brighton has officially announced a deal with Nordsjaelland, securing the signing of Osman for the upcoming summer transfer window for a reported fee of €18.7m (£16m).
The 19-year-old Ghanaian winger has signed a contract with the Seagulls that extends until 2029. Osman is poised to become the latest promising talent nurtured by the south coast club, following in the footsteps of players like Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, and Alexis Mac Allister, all of whom were eventually sold for substantial sums.
This acquisition sets the stage for potential developments, particularly regarding the future of Mitoma at the club. The 26-year-old Japanese winger has garnered interest from various teams, including Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea. Despite a decline in his Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) from €30m to €24m, Brighton is likely to demand a fee around €60m for the player they acquired for just €3m in 2021. Expect a competitive bidding war among the Premier League giants for his signature.
Barcelona faces a significant setback in their pursuit of Mitoma following Brighton’s signing of Osman. The Catalan club had considered including Ansu Fati as part of the deal, with the young forward currently on loan at Brighton. However, Fati’s impact has been limited, especially after a recent calf injury, and Osman’s arrival diminishes his value to Brighton. Consequently, a potential exchange becomes less appealing for the Premier League side. Financial constraints further hinder Barcelona’s ability to compete with the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea in securing Mitoma’s services.
With Barcelona’s hopes fading and financial pressures mounting, the competition among Premier League clubs for Mitoma’s signature has intensified. Expect the race among Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea to heat up as the transfer window draws near.
