Benitez ready to sell Mitrovic

Newcastle looks set to lose their only target striker Aleksandar Mitrovic as Rafa Benitez feels he can’t trust the fiery Serbian, according to the Mirror.

Benitez appears to have lost his trust in Mitrovic who has had many clashes with officials in his first season at Newcastle since joining from Anderlecht for £13m.

Mitrovic is currently serving a four-game ban after being sent off in the final game of last season where Newcastle beat Tottenham 5-1 as they bowed out of the Premier League.

Benitez is also set to profit from the sale of Moussa Sissoko who is interesting Real Madrid and PSG.

As Sissoko and Mitrovic possibly leave St James Park, there could soon be another coming in as Benitez is waiting to hear from Everton manager Ronald Koeman on the possibility of loaning Brendan Galloway, who is struggling for game time as Baines and Oviedo are currently ahead of him.
