Fulham reject second bid from Saudi Arabia for Aleksandar Mitrovic

Fulham have rejected a fresh approach from Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal for star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, sources have told 90min . The Serbia international solidified his place as one of the Premier League 's leading forwards last season, scoring 14 goals in 24 Game s following the Whites' promotion back to the top flight and finishing above rivals Chelsea in the table. Mitrovic has become a cult figure at Fulham during his six seasons in west London, but his future is uncertain amid interest from Saudi Arabia. 90min reported earlier this week that he and manager Marco Silva are being targeted by the Saudi Pro League, with Fulham already rejecting a £25m offer from Al Hilal for Mitrovic. READ MORE FROM THE 90MIN TALKING TRANSFERS TEAM feed Sources have now confirmed to 90min that Al Hilal returned with a new bid of nearly £30m, but this was again quickly knocked back by Fulham. Mitrovic is believed to be open to a move to Saudi Arabia and would like to at least have th...

Aston Villa rebuffed with opening offer for Moussa Diaby

Aston Villa have had a bid rejected by Bayer Leverkusen for French winger Moussa Diaby, sources have confirmed to 90min . Villa are in the market for wingers and have already seen moves for Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams and Barcelona pair Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati fail to materialise. They also came close to landing Marcos Asensio, before the Spaniard chose to join Paris Saint Germain after leaving Real Madrid. However, Villa are working hard on options and have turned their attention to Diaby, who has long been a target for Premier League clubs. Newcastle have been long-term suitors and held talks last summer, while Arsenal have also been monitoring his situation for a number of months. But Villa made the first move and have lodged an opening offer worth €35m (£30m) plus add-ons. 90min understands that Leverkusen wasted little time in rejecting the bid though. The Bundesliga club have made it clear they want around €60m (£51m) for Diaby, although sources have told 90min th...

Man City players who could leave before the transfer window deadline

Image
Pep Guardiola will be devastated to see any of his Manchester City treble-winners leave the club this summer, but it may be surprisingly difficult for the Spaniard to keep some of his favourites at the Etihad. However, for the good of competitive football, it might be a blessing if some of City's stars make an exit in the transfer window. Ilkay Gundogan has already left for Barcelona, while a host of Guardiola's other stalwarts have been rumoured with transfer s elsewhere. The departures of Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal last summer also proved costly in City's pursuit of the Premier League and Pep will be keen not to give any of his other rivals a leg-up this time around. Here are some of those who could leave the Cityzens this transfer window . Joao Cancelo City are ready to cash in on the full-back / BSR Agency/GettyImages One of those who has missed out on the plaudits received by City's treble-winners is Joao Cancelo.
