# Mitrovic due on Tyneside for medical

Aleksandar Mitrovic has bid farewell to his Anderlecht teammates and is now due on Tyneside to undergo his medical, according to *HLN*.

The Belgian news outlet claim the lucrative personal terms offered by Newcastle swayed Mitrovic’s camp, despite strong interest shown by Porto. The clubs have reportedly agreed an €18m fee.

*Sky Sports* and *Foot Mercato* have confirmed that the Serbian is expected to undergo a medical and sign for Newcastle in the coming days.

Reports surfaced last week suggesting Porto had tabled an offer equal to Newcastle’s, but *HLN* report the Portuguese outfit were not willing to match his wage demands – much-like AS Roma and Benfica, who were also linked with the Serbian hotshot.

It is believed Newcastle want to unveil Mitrovic before the final game of their tour – on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Newcastle remain in negotiations with Anderlecht as they look to complete the signing of 20-year-old defender Chancel Mbemba Mangulu. The young centre-half has been on the Magpies’ radar for some time, but they face stiff competition from Atletico Madrid and Wolfsburg.

*Foot Mercato* also understand that Newcastle are in ‘advanced negotiations’ to sign Mbemba, and that a €10m deal could be reached ‘within the next 48 hours’, beating PSG to his signature.
