Fulham have rejected a £25.5m bid from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal for Aleksandar Mitrovic out of hand, with the Premier League club adamant their talisman is not for sale. Mitrovic is the latest player to attract serious interest from the Gulf state and is thought to be open to the move. Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kanté and Roberto Firmino are among those to have signed up to playing there next season.
Al-Hilal, one of four Saudi top-flight clubs owned by the Public Investment Fund who acquired Newcastle in 2020, have signed Rúben Neves and Kalidou Koulibaly this summer from Wolves and Chelsea. They also completed a €40m move for the Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic on Wednesday evening.
