Newcastle United striker Aleksandar Mitrovic’s deadline day loan move to Anderlecht has broken down, it has been claimed.
Anderlecht and Newcastle reached an agreement for Mitrovic’s return to the Belgian outfit earlier today and he even flew down to Brussels to complete the move.
The 23-year-old striker was expected to undergo a medical before signing a six-month loan contract but it seems the negotiations have gone south in recent hours.
And according to the BBC, his potential loan move back to Anderlecht has broken down with just hours left in the transfer window to sort things out.
It remains to be seen whether all the parties manage to return to the same page in the few hours left until 11pm to make sure Mitrovic rejoins Anderlecht today.
