Reports from Spain suggest Unai Emery is interested in signing Fulham forward Aleksandar Mitrovic for Villarreal.
The Serbian striker scored his 21st goal of the Championship season in Saturday’s 4-1 thrashing of Barnsley on Saturday and headed the winner for Serbia as they qualified for the World Cup finals at the expense of Portugal last weekend. The 27 year-old has scored 74 goals in 149 appearances for the Whites and put pen to paper on a new five year contract in August.
Emery is eager to add to Villarreal’s attacking arsenal in January with his side sitting in twelfth in La Liga having scored just fifteen goals in thirteen games. But Fulham, who turned down several offers for Mitrovic in the summer, would fiercely resist any approach for their in-form striker and Fichajes.net’s suggestion that he would be available for just €16m seems particularly fanciful.
No chance…next January rumour please
16 million euros??!!! where are the plucking that number from?
He’s signed a 5 year deal on 100k a week.
Hes worth at least 50 million pounds at the moment, probably more.
Do they honestly think that he would go for 16 million euros when they paid over 20 million pounds for him 3 years ago. Especially after he has signed a 5 years deal in the summer. Don’t know where they get these ideas from the media trying to stir things up as usual.
C’mon who reads football league world? you lot do obviously…. so why not make up a bull**** story like this keeps their advertisers and sponsors happy. I just gave them more publicity negative publicity but hope you guys out there take heed. The writer is a Johnson.
Emery must be dreaming if he thinks he will get Mitrovic for 16m euros. I suspect this is tittle tattle because a Spanish sports editor desperately needed to fill column inches.
Does Emery still believes in santa-claus???? 16€???what a joke…
The way he’s playing, nothing less than $75m.
Why the hell would mitrovic want to play for villareal,12th in la liga.He will be playing in the premiership next year,his family are settled plus he is on a fantastic contract at fulham.The way he is playing his fee would be a lot more than 16 million euros more like 25 million pounds at least
€16m ? It might secure one of his boot laces. Meanwhile back on planet earth.
