According to The Athletic, Brighton rejected Al-Nassr's €65m (£54.4m/$67.7m) offer for the 27-year-old on Thursday but CBS Sports' James Benge states the Saudi Pro League team are prepared to make a final offer worth up to £90m ($112m/€107.5m) for him. However, the Premier League team are reluctant to lose Mitoma.
