Newcastle United striker Aleksandar Mitrovic should reportedly leave if Fulham win the play-off final, as Rafael Benitez looks to clear the decks.
According to the Chronicle, Aleksandar Mitrovic is on the verge of an exit at Newcastle United.
Mitrovic reportedly should complete a move to Fulham, if the Cottagers win the play off final against Aston Villa at Wembley on Saturday.
The Serbian striker’s departure is sure to be a controversial one at St. James’ Park, but it could work out well for Newcastle.
The Magpies apparently have targets on their list this summer that are demanding over £100,000-a-week in wages.
And Mitrovic’s departure from Newcastle, will help Rafael Benitez’s side increase their wage cap.
Mitrovic is on a contract worth £50,000-a-week, and Newcastle are keen to offload him in a bid to reduce their wage bill.
Newcastle are believed to be looking for a fee of £15 million for the target-man, which Fulham are willing to pay providing they are promoted.
Newcastle could also offload Jack Colback and Adam Armstrong in the coming weeks, as Benitez makes room for new additions.
