ALEKSANDAR MITROVIC has aimed a brutal swipe at Fulham and Newcastle following his \u00a346million Saudi transfer.<\/p>\n
The Serbian striker completed a move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal this summer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
His Fulham exit brought Mitrovic's eight-year spell in England to an end.<\/p>\n
Prior to the move, he reportedly told friends he would never play for the Cottagers again after they rejected a bid from Al-Hilal.<\/p>\n
Mitrovic, who is said to be on more than \u00a3400,000-a-week now, would go on to come off the bench on the opening weekend of the new season in what was his final Fulham appearance.<\/p>\n
However, he has now taken a sly dig at his former clubs after signing for the four-time Asian Champions League winners.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking to Gazzetta Dello Sport, he explained: "When I received the offer from Al-Hilal, I talked about it with my family, giving up was impossible.<\/p>\n
"I have no nostalgia for England, I played many years there.<\/p>\n
"I\u2019m happy to have finally arrived at a top club, Al-Hilal is a bit like Real Madrid in Europe."<\/p>\n
Mitrovic first arrived in England in 2015, signing for Newcastle before joining Fulham three years later.<\/p>\n
