Return of Mitrovic in sight - Manchester United, West Ham United, and Everton express interest
Score a Deal this Summer!
Looks like striker Alexander Mitrovic may be bidding adieu to Al-Hilal soon, according to talkSPORT. Scooping up the Serbian sensation from Fulham in 2023 for a cool £50 million, Al-Hilal could be preparing to let him go to make way for new foreign talent.
With the Club World Cup on the horizon, Al-Hilal is gunning for strengthening its squad, including negotiations for Victor Osimhen. There's even buzz about a hypothetical loan deal involving the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo, despite previous dismissals of such speculation as far-fetched.
Mitrovic might be up for grabs, but only after Al-Hilal has secured a replacement.
Some potential suitors for Mitrovic include West Ham, Everton, and Manchester United, each offering around £40 million. The striker himself is rumored to be open to a pay cut to make a return to Europe.

Insights:
Mitrovic's move away from Al-Hilal is driven by the club's pursuit of Victor Osimhen, as league regulations limit the number of foreign players per team. His hefty salary, reportedly €15 million net annually, has presented challenges for interested clubs, triggering discussions about possible loan deals or Al-Hilal covering part of his salary.
Potential Suitors for Mitrovic
- Manchester United: Consistently linked with Mitrovic, a move to Old Trafford could be on the cards if financial terms can be agreed upon.
- Everton: The Toffees show interest in bolstering their attack, just as United does. Expect them to keep a close eye on Mitrovic's availability.
- West Ham United: Rumored to be on the hunt for a premier league goal scorer, they stand among the interested parties.
- AC Milan: Showing interest, but dettered by Mitrovic's sizable wage demands, unless a loan deal can be brokered with Al-Hilal covering part of his salary.
