Saudi side Al Hilal offer to triple Aleksandar Mitrovic's wages but Fulham reject 25.5m bid
Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal have seen a £25.5million bid for Aleksandar Mitrovic rejected.
It has been reported that Mitrovic has told Fulham he wants the move to happen.
talkSPORT understands that Mitrovic has been offered a £21.3million-per-year contract, equating to £400,000-per-week.
His current deal at Craven Cottage as Fulham's top earner is believed to be worth £120,000-per-week.
However, the Premier League club have rejected the offer.
Any move could see him reunited with Serbian international teammate Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, with the Lazio midfielder the subject of a £40m offer.

Al Hilal have already signed Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves this summer for £47m, and have been one of the most active Saudi teams during the transfer window, also bringing in Kalidou Koulibaly from Chelsea.
Mitrovic is a fan favourite at Fulham and one of the team's most important players, having been their top scorer for four of their last five seasons.
Commenting on the news, talkSPORT host and former Fulham midfielder Danny Murphy gave his thoughts.
"He's already earning big at Fulham, over £120,000-a-week apparently, that's great money and makes him Fulham's highest-ever paid player.

"But if you're nearing the end of your career and can earn five or even ten times that number, can you really blame him?"
It's also understood that Al Hilal remain keen on Mitrovic's Fulham manager Marco Silva.
