Scott Parker and Fulham could be set for a battle on their hands to keep Aleksandar Mitrovic, with Turkish giants Fenerbahce making their move.

According to Turkish news outlet Takvim, the giants of European football Fenerbahce have made the first move in the bid to sign the Serbian international, who was in fine form for the Cottagers last term despite the club being relegated back to the Championship.

It is believed a bid in the region of £2m has beem made for Mitrovic, with a loan move being eyed up by the Turkish side as they look to take advantage of Fulham's drop into the Championship.

Manager Scott Parker is all too aware that he has a fight on his hands this summer to keep hold of a number of his star players, and Mitrovic was always going to be the sort of player who attracted big attention from across the continent.

The big Serb made a huge impression for Fulham as they were promoted from the Championship previously, and went on to impress in the Premier League too, hitting 11 goals despite his team's struggles in general.

The likes of Ryan Sessegnon, Andre Schurrle and Tom Cairney are all likely to be of interest for other clubs this summer, and Mitrovic's transfer could well be just the start of a mini exodus at the Cottage in the coming months.

The Verdict

This might make sense for Fulham to an extent, but they risk Mitrovic becoming settled in Turkey and seeking a permanent move come the end of the season.

Parker has a big decision to make, not only on that front, but in terms of who he might replace the Serbian with.

It's a tricky few months ahead for Fulham that's for sure.
