Al-Hilal make huge £43m Aleksandar Mitrovic transfer bid as Fulham line up Argentina World Cup winner | The Sun

AL-HILAL have made a fresh £43million offer for Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The Saudi side are hopeful their latest bid, which equates to 50m euros, will be enough to convince Fulham to sell their talisman.

Yet if the Cottagers choose to reject it, it is doubtful Al-Hilal will go any higher. 

Mitrovic, 28, is keen to take up the opportunity in the Middle-East where he would see his wages skyrocket. 

Fulham have been reluctant to let go of Mitrovic, who has banged in 111 goals in 206 games for the West London club.

But they have already signed a new forward in the form of Raul Jimenez, who started the 1-0 win over Everton on Saturday.

The switch would also see Mitrovic link up with Neymar, who has just agreed to join Al-Hilal, becoming the latest superstar to head to Saudi in an £86m move from Paris Saint-Germain.

The Brazil legend's eye-watering £2.6m-a-week contract is said to include an agreement where he will be paid £430,000 for every post on Instagram that promotes Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile Fulham are interested in Sevilla's Argentina defender Gonzalo Montiel.

The Cottagers are in the market for a new right-back and remain very keen on Leicester's Timothy Castagne, while they also showed previous interest in Kyle Walker-Peters at Southampton.
