🎙️ Habla Mitrovic: ¿Jugar en un día en la Serie A? “En la vida y en el fútbol nunca se sabe. En el pasado estuve cerca ir, pero ahora estoy feliz en Al Hilal y quiero hacer grandes cosas aquí.

The striker had a successful time in England, but somehow didn’t seem to enjoy the spell there. He finally moved to Riyadh after a $64 million deal.
The forward already mentioned that he is happy at Al Hilal and doesn’t feel any remorse for leaving Britain. He also is feeling pumped to achieve great things at the new club.
Mitrovic wasn’t getting adequate game time at Fulham owing to injuries. But the Serbian prefers to have an Italian connection rather than a British one.

Mitrovic was the highest scorer for Fulham in the English Football Championship 202-2022 winning the Golden Boot. His earlier year was also fruitful in gaining the eyes of UEFA Champions League-winning manager Jose Mourinho. Mourinho invited Mitrovic to join his new AS Roma project as he was unhappy with the London side.
Mitrovic has started his Saudi Pro League very aggressively by scoring 5 goals and providing an assist already. With Neymar, who provides some excellent goals and assists, the duo can form a deadly combination. It definitely won’t be a surprise to see Al Hilal going for a club World Cup title in their next attempt. The 29-year-old who was bothered by injuries at times would hope to keep himself in good shape for the season ahead.
