Al Hilal has been a monster in spending. The club has spent nearly $400 million on bringing in players from across the globe. But their most rewarding investment has been Serbian player Aleksandar Mitrovic, who has carried the team on his shoulders in Neymar’s absence. Ahead of the important Riyadh Season Cup, we look at how much he costs, what is his net worth, and what value he brings to the club.

Al Hilal has been on a rampage this season. The club has gone undefeated in all the major tournaments thanks to its diverse contingent. However, despite spending a lot of money on Neymar, the value-added Serbian star is proving to be a game-changer.

Salary and net worth of Aleksandar Mitrovic

Mitrovic, 29, has seen a lot of growth on the pitch in the past few years, even though he often went under the radar. Notably, due to this, the Serbian was not completely satisfied in England with moderate earnings. Mitrovic was estimated to be worth around $10 million in 2022 while playing in the Premier League. However, after the deal in Saudi Arabia came his way, the player is estimated to be worth around $60 million, according to reports.

Additionally, the player receives a fee of approximately $531,000 per week. Al Hilal bought Mitrovic from Fulham, resisting quite a bit of force from the London club. Fulham rejected an apparent offer of $32 million for the star. The West London club had signed the player from Newcastle United for $28 million in 2018.

Mitrovic was already unhappy at Fulham when they demanded a large transfer fee, hindering him from joining the Saudi club. The Al Hilal striker was hardly earning $152,000 per week, which he thought was below par for his ability. Nevertheless, despite Fulham being ready for an increase in the cap, Mitrovic chose to leave for the Middle East.

Mitrovic worth the money for Al Hilal

The striker previously played a vital role in Fulham’s return to the Premier League, breaking the Championship’s record for most goals in a single season (42). The star continued the same form at Al Hilal, scoring 25 goals in 26 games. Now, Aleksandar Mitrovic is the only player competing with Cristiano Ronaldo as the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League with 17 goals.

The player was brought in just for $56 million for a three-year contract, in contrast to Neymar, who was brought in for roughly $97.5 million transfer fee. However, it is the Serbian, along with teammates Malcom and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, who have proved indispensable, with Al Hilal having 59 goals in just 20 SPL games.
