Plymouth Argyle are exploring a permanent deal for Alex Mitchell, a move the player described as a 'no-brainer'. However, the transfer is not guaranteed as, according to Football League World, Oxford United have also become interested in signing the Charlton Athletic defender. Oxford are reportedly preparing to compete for the permanent transfer.

Football League World's Plymouth fan pundit Luke stated that he would love it if the club were able to sign Alex Mitchell on a permanent contract. He said that talks were reportedly happening earlier in the season regarding the potential for a transfer to take place. It is also mentioned that Mitchell was outstanding during his loan at Plymouth and that he would be a brilliant investment if signed permanently. It is stated that Tom Cleverley should try to sign Alex Mitchell permanently this summer. Alex Mitchell said that Plymouth is a place where he really enjoys going into work every day. He stated that a permanent move is definitely something he will be looking at, but there are other factors. Mitchell added that Charlton currently controls the situation regarding what they want to do, but if they were to let him go, he would definitely really consider it.

Following the conclusion of his loan spell from Charlton Athletic, Alex Mitchell's future remains uncertain. Both Mitchell and the Argyle boss want the move to be made permanent.

Tom Cleverley said that Mitch will receive a lot of interest and that he is unaware of Charlton's plans for him. He stated that this is likely a matter for the off-season, because both clubs are pursuing their end-of-season goals. Cleverley also said that his club has declared its interest, should the player become available in the summer. He mentioned that factors such as how much the player has enjoyed it, his role as a key figure, and his connection with the supporters are all considerations, in addition to the key factor of the money they can offer.
