da mrbet： For the majority of transfer deadline day, it was widely reported that Newcastle United forward Aleksandar Mitrovic was on the verge of returning to former club Anderlecht.

da pinnacle： The Serbian has struggled for game time at St James’ Park this season, making just six appearances in the Premier League, none of which were starts.

According to Sky Sports, Mitrovic travelled to Belgium to finalise a return to the club that he left in 2015.

However, the proposed transfer collapsed due to Anderlecht’s failure to sell another player to fund the deal.

Some Newcastle fans have been left disappointed in the club’s decision to offload Mitrovic, who joined the Magpies two-and-a-half years ago.
