Fulham are reportedly fearing an exit for Aleksandar Mitrovic.
According to the Daily Mail, Fulham are fearing that striker Aleksandar Mitrovic will be leaving the club at the end of the season if they are relegated.
Mitrovic, 24, helped Fulham win promotion from the Championship last season in a superb loan spell from Newcastle United.
Unsurprisingly, Slavisa Jokanovic fought to sign him permanently over the summer, paying a huge fee to sign his fellow Serbian, with The Guardian claiming the deal was £22million rising to £27million.
Jokanovic may have been sacked, but Mitrovic has been outstanding regardless, hitting 10 goals in 27 games whilst serving as the talisman for a struggling Fulham side.
Claudio Ranieri’s men sit second bottom of the Premier League table after Friday’s defeat at West Ham United, and are a huge eight points away from safety.
Now, the Daily Mail report that Fulham are fearing Mitrovic will move on this summer if they do go back down to the Championship, alongside Ryan Sessegnon and Tom Cairney.
Given his exploits in the Premier League, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Mitrovic head back to the top flight, especially with links to Tottenham Hotspur emerging.
TEAMtalk reported just days ago that Spurs failed with a deadline day bid for Mitrovic, but they should absolutely return for the target man whether Fulham go down or not, and may hope that Fulham’s potential relegation will help their pursuit.
