Saudi Pro League side optimistic over Serbia striker Lloris in talks with Lazio over potential move
Al-Hilal are closing in on a deal to sign Aleksandar Mitrovic from Fulham after rekindling their interest in the Serbia striker.
Fulham rejected a £25.5m bid from the Saudi Pro League side for Mitrovic last month and insisted that the 28-year-old is not for sale. But having wrapped up an £86.3m deal for Neymar earlier this week, Al-Hilal are understood to be very optimistic of completing a deal for Mitrovic, who scored 14 Premier League goals last season. Officials have reopened talks with Fulham and they hope to secure an agreement over a fee that is likely to be in excess of £40m in the coming days, with Mitrovic having already agreed personal terms with Al-Hilal.
