Manchester United, West Ham, and Everton Eye Aleksandar Mitrović as Summer Transfer Option*
Aleksandar Mitrović, currently playing for Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League, has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, West Ham, and Everton. After leaving Fulham in 2023 for nearly £50 million, the Serbian striker has enjoyed immense success in Saudi Arabia, scoring 68 goals in 79 appearances and winning both the league title and the domestic cup in his debut season.

Despite his impressive form, Mitrović could be on the move this summer. Al Hilal is reportedly open to selling or loaning him, particularly if they finalize a high-profile signing like Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. Mitrović’s proven track record in English football, including a 14-goal season with Fulham in 2022–2023, makes him an appealing option for Premier League teams seeking a reliable goalscorer.

Manchester United is said to be evaluating Mitrović as a potential addition to strengthen their attack, especially after missing out on European qualification, which may affect their ability to attract top-tier targets like Viktor Gyökeres. West Ham and Everton are also monitoring the situation closely, viewing Mitrović as a more attainable and experienced alternative for their forward lines.

Though no formal bids have been submitted, Mitrović is reportedly available for £40 million and willing to take a pay cut to return to the Premier League. Fulham, his former club, is not expected to pursue a reunion. With the Saudi Pro League aiming to establish itself as a two-way transfer market, several key players, including Mitrović, could be heading back to Europe in the upcoming transfer window.
