Mitrovic joined Fulham in January 2018, initially on a loan deal, and signed a permanent contract in the summer. In his first season, he helped the team win the Premier League play-off final, securing promotion to the Premier League, the first of three promotions to the top flight.
During the club's championship campaign in the 2021/2022 season, he scored 43 goals, setting a record for the most goals scored in a 46-game English league season and equalling the club's record for goals scored in a single campaign.
We wish Alexander all the best for the rest of his career," the club's press service said in a statement.
