Mitrovic bagged 14 goals in 24 Premier League appearances last season.
According to Sky Sports, the 28-year-old is eager to leave Craven Cottage in order to move to Saudi Arabia this summer.
Al-Hilal are looking to make Mitrovic their latest high-profile signing.
Their £25.5m bid for the Premier League star follows their acquisitions of Ruben Neves and Kalidou Koulibaly.
Neves arrived from Wolves in a £47m deal.
While Chelsea flop Koulibaly joined for £17m from the Blues.
Mitrovic joined Fulham, initially on loan, from Newcastle in 2018.
He has twice helped them to promotion to the Premier League – setting a Championship goalscoring record the second time around.
The 6ft 2in ace scored an astonishing 43 goals in 44 games during the 2021-22 campaign – more than any other Championship player has ever managed in a single season.
In total, Mitrovic has netted 111 goals in 205 games for the Cottagers.
He also has an impressive record for his country – scoring 52 goals in 81 caps – including two efforts at last year’s World Cup.
