Newcastle United open to Aleksandar Mitrovic sale?

Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez has reportedly decided to consider offers for striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The Serbian international has endured a mixed time on Tyneside since signing for Newcastle in 2015, despite making himself a fan favourite with his all-action style.

However, according to The Mirror, Benitez does not see the 22-year-old as one of his frontline strikers for next season after scoring just four times in the Championship last season.

Any move could be dependent on a team bidding in excess of £10m for the former Anderlecht man, who cost Newcastle a fee of £14.5m just two years ago.

Mitrovic - who has scored a total of 15 goals from 65 appearances in all competitions - is said to be attracting interest from Turkey.
