Ronaldo shockingly wants Al Nassr to recruit Kaoru Mitoma for a 'huge' price of 85 million euros

Ronaldo scored his 921st career goal and provided an assist to help Al Nassr beat Al Raed 2-1 in Round 18 of the Saudi Pro League on January 31st, moving them up to third place with 38 points and continuing to compete with the top two teams, Al Hilal and Al Ittihad, in the title race.

Ronaldo has scored 921 goals in his career, as of January 31, 2025.

According to Sky Sports (England): "Ronaldo sees Al Nassr's chances of competing for the championship in the 2024-2025 season increasing. With his influence, the soon-to-be 40-year-old star is urging the team, owned by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, to strengthen their squad to be competitive for the national league title. This is why they are targeting top players like Jhon Duran and Mitoma."

Jhon Duran has officially joined Al Nassr from Premier League club Aston Villa for a fee of €77 million plus add-ons. The 21-year-old Colombian completed his medical examination in London and will fly to Saudi Arabia on January 31st to be unveiled and officially sign a five-and-a-half-year contract.

Following the signing of Jhon Duran, with Ronaldo behind the scenes, Al Nassr has submitted another official offer to Brighton to sign their star Japanese winger, Kaoru Mitoma, for an initial fee of €65 million, according to Sky Sports and The Athletic .

Jhon Duran (9) has become Ronaldo's new teammate, will Mitoma be next?

However, this proposal was rejected by Brighton. The English club insisted that Mitoma was not for sale. The winter transfer window in the Saudi Pro League closes on February 1st. Therefore, if Al Nassr, with Ronaldo's current urging, wants to acquire Mitoma, they will have to increase the deal's value to convince Brighton.

Sky (Italy) has revealed that Al Nassr has made a new offer for Mitoma, raising it to €85 million. This is an incredibly high price that could convince Brighton. The issue now will depend on the Japanese player's decision," Sky Sports reported.

Mitoma, currently 27 years old, has a contract with Brighton until June 2027. He is valued at €45 million, according to Transfermarkt . However, his value could more than double if he agrees to join Al Nassr alongside star player Ronaldo.

Mitoma was signed by Brighton from Kawasaki Frontale in 2021 for a fee of just €1.8 million, after which he was loaned to Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise for one season.

Mitoma joined Brighton in August 2022. Since then, he has made 92 appearances in all competitions, scoring 18 goals. This season, Mitoma has played in all 23 Premier League matches for Brighton, scoring 5 goals and providing 3 assists.
