Mitoma is an important palyer in Brighton and his effect on Brighton is the reason to say Brighton won't lose this player easily.
However, Manchester United is not in a good situation and there is a lower chance for Mitoma to accept this offer if Pep Guardiola sends him an offer at the same time. The contract with Mitoma will expire in 2025 and if he continues his good performance he can even be linked to other teams.
Since its inception, Brighton has been known for producing quality young players. At the Brighton academy itself, this has become an investment tool. Buying seeds all over the country and turning them into quality young players who are ready to be brought in by big teams. That's how Brighton is, they might be said to not be aggressive in winning trophies, but players who have graduated from Brighton can show their results at the club they occupy.
Regarding Mitoma, I think the same thing applies, it is possible that after his contract is finished, it could happen that before his contract, a big club will be interested in buying him. Mitoma is a talented player and he needs to develop at a club that can achieve success in winning trophies. Therefore Brighton remains open and losing Mitoma in 2025 will not cost them anything. In fact, Mitoma will be profitable because it was bought at a cheap price, then trained until it becomes a regular market player, its market price automatically rises drastically. Brighton is a business club so I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being sold.
They have been investing in areas where I feel that they already have some good players.1 billion is a very big amount and out of that they haven't been able to make the results as expected. It's not only Pochettino's job but also others in management as it is not only made by 1 man and some of these transfers happened before Pochettino arrived. They really need to be smart in transfer window and not making any abrupt decision without thinking.
I think they've spent too much money without a clear plan. Instead of focusing on building their gameplay and strategically filling key positions, they've gone for good players without a well-thought-out arrangement. They could learn a lot from Sir Alex Ferguson, a seasoned expert in the transfer market. Every contract he made was a wise investment, and he had a remarkable ability to manage the players he brought in.
Pochettino wasn't a good choice I think. But at the same time there weren't many options available. They need a manager who understands how to develop a real squad and how to improve every single player. How can it be that they are again tumbling like last season? Any other club would dream of the amount they spent on transfers. Can you mess it up for one season? Well it should not happen, but it can happen. But two seasons in a row?
Perhaps Pochettino is feeling pressure from the team's leadership to quickly rebuild Chelsea following Abramovich's departure. As a result, he's been buying players he believes could benefit the club without a clear understanding of how to effectively utilize them.
The problem is, the Chelsea owner does not share the club philosophy that Sir Alex implemented at Man United. Moreover, this season Chelsea is floating in the middle of a deadlock, aimless without players with the ambition to develop and Pochettino's presence is not appropriate because he is immediately faced with many problems. So it is difficult for Pochettino to determine which problems must be resolved. However, the pressure put on Pochettino is enormous, he has no time to develop if his players have to start from zero. Coming to Chelsea with players in disarray, the owner also doesn't understand football and all these problems must be faced by a coach.
