Al-Hilal Announces the Signing of ex-Fulham Striker Mitrovic
In a sensational move, Al Hilal has formalized the signing of Serbian player Aleksandar Mitrović. The Serbian international joins the club on a three-year contract, extending until 2026.
This announcement adds another big name to Al Hilal’s impressive transfer activity during this summer’s window. The Riyadh giants have orchestrated multiple high-profile acquisitions from Europe, breaking the league’s transfer record three times. Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves, Brazilian winger Malcom, and Brazilian superstar Neymar have all joined the ranks of Hilal in this remarkable transfer window.
Aleksandar Mitrović’s arrival adds to Hilal’s firepower, bolstering their quest to recapture the Saudi Pro League title. The club’s proactive approach has seen them secure notable signings like Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly, Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, and Serbian teammate Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
While the Mitrović transfer fee remains undisclosed, Fulham confirmed a substantial club-record bid for the striker. His prolific career includes 197 goals in 436 club appearances and the distinction of being Serbia’s all-time leading goalscorer with 52 goals.
As Al Hilal kicks off the new season with determination, their acquisition of Mitrović underlines their ambition to excel in the Saudi Pro League, building on their opening weekend victory and subsequent draw.
