Fulham have insisted Aleksandar Mitrovic is not for sale after a number of European clubs expressed interest in signing the in-form striker in January.
Mitrovic has scored an extraordinary 21 Championship goals in eighteen league appearances and established himself as a key part of Marco Silva’s side having been ostracised by former manager Scott Parker last season. The 27 year-old, who also headed Serbia’s last minute winner in Portugal to send his country to the World Cup finals, was linked with a move to Villarreal last month whilst Teamtalk reports that Juventus, Fiorentina, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Nice and Lille have made contact with Fulham about a potential transfer.
But the Fulham hierarchy have been unequivocal in their response – telling all parties that Mitrovic, who signed a new five-year contract at Craven Cottage in August, is unavailable for transfer. The club believe that their talisman will be vital in not only helping them return to the Premier League at the first time of asking but keeping the Whites back in the top flight. Mitrovic’s agent has also rebuffed approaches from other clubs stressing how happy their client and his family are in London.
That’s made it loud and clear. I bet he is raring to go on Friday night and I feel it will be more than a reminder for Mr Parker.
Love that Mitro is so happy at Craven Cottage
Imagine he scores a hat trick against Scotty & co on Friday
As usual the media won’t take no for an answer and will continue running stories. The daily bulletins on Manyoo are a good example. Coyw
So hoping Mitrovic has a blinder Friday night and shows Parker how wrong he was to keep benching him. 9 goals at home all season under Parker is why we got relegated ( that’s the whole team stats by the way) Marco Silva knows how to get the best out of the team unlike one trick pony Parker who never knew how to change things when his idea didn’t work.
Fantastic let’s hope for a good win
