Fulham 'reject second bid for wantaway striker Aleksandar Mitrovic'
The forward has three years left on his contract, but his Fulham future has been thrown into doubt due to the ongoing interest from Al-Hilal.
A recent report claimed that the Saudi Pro League side submitted an initial £25.5m offer for the Serbia international.
Fulham swiftly turned down the proposal, with Marco Silva's side keen to retain the services of one of their prized assets.
However, Al-Hilal are not prepared to give up their pursuit just yet and have now returned with a second improved bid.
According to Sky Sports News, the Saudi Arabian club submitted an offer close to £30m, which has been turned down by Fulham.
The report states that Fulham's stance remains unchanged, as they continue to insist that the 28-year-old is not for sale.
While the Cottagers are showing no signs of budging, the player himself is pushing to complete a move to the Saudi Pro League.
Mitrovic has allegedly asked Fulham's vice-chairman Tony Khan to accept Al-Hilal's offer, highlighting the significant contribution that he has made to the club.
The striker registered 14 goals in 23 Premier League appearances last season, helping the Cottagers achieve a top-half finish.
During his six-year stay with the club, he has scored 111 goals in 205 games and won promotion to the Premier League on two occasions.
A move to Al-Hilal would allow Mitrovic to link up with his international teammate Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, who recently completed a move from Lazio.
They have also recruited two players from the Premier League, having signed Kalidou Koulibaly and Ruben Neves from Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers respectively.
