He left the Premier League just two years ago, but his name never really faded.
Since moving to the Middle East, he has been scoring goals for fun and now, at 30, a return to England’s top flight could be on the cards.
Manchester United are considering a move for a striker who knows English football well and has found new life in the Saudi Pro League.
The club is looking to sharpen its attacking options this summer, and talkSPORT reports that the powerful Serbian forward has become a serious target.
Despite his time away from Europe, his form has been impossible to ignore.
With 68 goals in 79 appearances for Al Hilal, he has become one of the most consistent strikers outside the continent.
Now, with a possible exit on the table, Premier League scouts are watching closely and United could be first in line.
The Red Devils are expected to invest in a more traditional No. 9 to complement their younger attacking talents.
While the club continues to explore several long-term options, this particular name brings experience, strength, and guaranteed goals.
According to the report, the striker cost Al Hilal around £50 million in 2023, but could now be available for closer to £40 million.
United see that as a good value deal, especially for a player with a proven track record in both English and international football. That player is Aleksandar Mitrovic.
The former Fulham man is now being considered for a surprise Premier League return and if United move quickly, the Serbian powerhouse could be wearing red again, this time at Old Trafford.
Aleksandar Mitrovic made 89 appearances for Fulham in the Premier League and 206 in all competitions.
With his experience in the Premier League, Aleksandar Mitrovic could prove to be the experienced striker United needs upfront.
