Premier League
José Mourinho is already starting to plan the future of Fenerbahçe, and one of his main requests for the next season has a name: Aleksandar Mitrovic. The Portuguese coach believes that the Serbian forward is the ideal profile to replace Edin Dzeko, who could leave the club at the end of the current season.
Mitrovic, 30, is currently thriving at Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, where he has become one of the team's main offensive references. However, according to 'Fanatik', the player is considering a return to European football, especially with an eye on being in top form for the 2026 World Cup. This aspect could ease things for the Turkish club, which dreams of incorporating him as their new offensive leader.
It will be very difficult to get him out of Saudi Arabia
The main challenge in the operation is the striker's current contract with the Saudi team, where he earns a very high salary that is hard to match for the Istanbul team. Nevertheless, Mourinho's influence and the appeal of returning to compete at the highest European level could be crucial arguments to persuade the attacker.
Fenerbahçe's interest in Mitrovic is not new, but with Mourinho in charge, the operation gains strength and realism. The Portuguese coach wants to build an ambitious project, and having a forward like Mitrovic would be a solid step towards that goal. The ball is now in Al-Hilal's court and in Mitrovic's hands.
