In a major transfer development, Al-Rayyan have secured the signing of Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrović from Al Hilal, marking a new chapter in his career in Qatar. The deal was confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who announced the agreement with his signature “Here We Go!” phrase.
Mitrović, who joined Al Hilal from Fulham in the summer of 2023, has now decided to part ways with the Saudi Pro League giants after just one season. The 29-year-old striker terminated his contract with the Riyadh-based club and has committed to an immediate move to Al-Rayyan.
During his stint in Saudi Arabia, Mitrović played a pivotal role in Al Hilal’s attacking setup, forming a prolific partnership with Neymar and other key players. Despite his contributions, Al Hilal have opted to reshape their squad, with reports indicating that the club is preparing a significant investment in Liverpool forward Darwin Núñez.
For Al-Rayyan, the arrival of Mitrović represents a major statement of intent as they look to strengthen their attack and compete more aggressively in the Qatar Stars League. Known for his physical presence, aerial ability, and predatory instincts in the box, the Serbian international is expected to be a key figure in Al-Rayyan’s ambitions going forward.
