Aleksandar Mitrovic is reportedly interested in a move to the Saudi Pro League after being the subject of a £25.5m bid from Al Hilal.
The club have already secured the services of Kalidou Koulibaly and Ruben Neves this summer and are looking to complete a Premier League hat-trick with the capture of the Fulham marksman.
The Serbian, who scored 14 league goals last season after playing a starring role in the Cottagers' promotion to the top-flight a year prior, is keen on the lucrative move, according to Sky Sports News.
They report that the sources close to the player have said Mitrovic is set on becoming the latest name to join the Saudi project in a move that would provide Fulham a small profit on the deal that took the 28-year-old to Craven Cottage in 2018.
Should Mitrovic get his wish, he would be in line to join his Serbian team-mate Sergej Milinkovic-Savic who nears a £34m move to the club.

In the past, he had been a target for Liverpool and Arsenal, while Manchester United went in pursuit of him last summer.
But the 28-year-old has opted to take up a reported annual wage of £17m for his efforts in Saudi Arabia.
The additions of Mitrovic and Milinkovic-Savic to an Al Hilal roster that contains Neves and Koulibaly signals the league’s determination to be considered a legitimate force.
Not only have the side recruited players from Europe who are entering the prime years of their careers, but Al Hilal have also drafted in former Benfica manager and three Portuguese champion Jorge Jesus to lead their roster.
