Romao discussed the situation and said :-
“I’d like to clear up a few Man City transfer rumours that have been circulating, with some fans asking me in particular about the links with Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma, who has also been mentioned as someone Liverpool are keeping an eye on.
“My understanding is that there is nothing at the moment – I asked today and there is nothing to report on player or club side. Brighton love Mitoma and for sure they want him to stay on a long-term deal.
“It’s very normal to see top clubs following him but as I said for Evan Ferguson, also for Mitoma we’ll get ten or more links per week but nothing will happen this or next month.”
Mitoma has been one of the bright prospects fro Roberto De Zerbi’s side as Brighton value him below £70m. Liverpool will go for the Japanese International if Mohamed Salah leaves the club in future.
