Aleksandar Mitrović in Ecstasy: The Saudi Transfer Shaking the Football World!
Aleksandar Mitrović, the Serbian striker and the all-time top scorer for the Serbian national team, is playing the football of his life, but it seems his fate in Saudi Arabia is changing faster than anyone expected. At 30 years old, Mitrović brilliantly defended the colors of Al Hilal last season, scoring 19 goals and ranking sixth in the Saudi league’s top scorers. However, new coach Simone Inzaghi does not see him in his plans for the next season, which comes as a shock to many.
The Saudi Transfer That Smells Like Freedom
Mitrović didn’t even play in the FIFA Club World Cup, where his club knocked out the mighty Manchester City in the round of 16. According to several Saudi media outlets, Mitrović’s days at Al Hilal are numbered. The club wants to sell him, but with a salary of a whopping 25 million euros per year and a market value of around 18 million euros, it’s hard to expect anyone to pay a transfer fee. Therefore, rumors say Al Hilal might give him his papers and let him go as a free agent, meaning Mitrović could choose his next club himself.
Back to England? Manchester United in the Mix!
English media are already whispering that Manchester United is interested in Mitrović. The Red Devils are not satisfied with the performance of Danish striker Rasmus Højlund, and Mitrović is on the shortlist alongside young talents like Benjamin Šeško and Hugo Ekitike. Mitrović already has rich experience in England, having played for Newcastle and Fulham, where he scored 43 goals in 44 Championship matches — an impressive record.
Mitrović – The Serbian Goal Machine That Keeps Impressing
Throughout his career, Mitrović has also played for Teleoptik, Partizan, Anderlecht, and scored 62 goals in 100 appearances for Serbia. His form and experience make him a desirable player for many clubs, but the question remains who will dare to pay his salary or negotiate with Al Hilal.
What’s Next?
Will Mitrović really leave Saudi Arabia and return to England? Will Manchester United make a move that will shake the football world? Or will Mitrović choose another club? One thing is certain — this saga is just beginning, and we will follow it with great interest.
