Newcastle name their price for striker amid Fulham interest

Newcastle United will reportedly demand a fee worth £18 million for in-demand striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The Serbian international is set to be hot property this summer and Fulham are keen to land him on a permanent basis following his loan spell at Craven Cottage.

Mitrovic was instrumental for Fulham as they secured promotion to the Premier League. The forward joined Slavisa Jokanovic’s side on loan in January and was consistently prolific for the Whites.

This form has prompted Newcastle to set a high price tag for the forward, it seems, with the Daily Star claiming that it will take an offer of £18m to convince the Magpies to sell.

Mitrovic is understood to be keen on joining Fulham permanently following their promotion, but it seems there is still some way to go with regards to negotiations between the two clubs.

Fulham are claimed to have identified Mitrovic as their top target for the summer transfer window.
