Although Kylian Mbappe is not convinced and has other suitors lined up, Paris Saint-Germain is willing to accept Al Hilal’s eye-watering £259 million offer for the forward.
The 24-year-old has been placed up for sale and was not included in the team’s preseason tour of Japan and South Korea because he is refusing to sign a contract extension with the French champions.
Mbappe has made it plain he won’t be triggering a one-year extension, therefore it’s believed he already has an agreement in place to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next year. However, PSG are ɑnxious to secure a fee right away.
Al Hilal has proposed a possible solution as a result of this. He suggests paying PSG a record-breaking £259 million transfer fee before offering Mbappe a one-year contract that would allow him to join Real for free in the summer.
Despite the fɑct that the deal is still quite convoluted, you have accepted Saudi Arabia’s offer and given them authorization to contact the striker.
Mbappe isn’t sure he wants to move to Saudi Arabia at this point in his career, even if it’s just for one season, despite Al Hilal’s willingness to pay him £604 million, which would make him the highest-paid player in history and work out to nearly £11.6 million per week.
Although they are much less lucrative, the former Monaco striker has other offers to consider as well.
Inquiries concerning Mbappe’s status have also been made by Chelsea, Manchester United, Real Madrid and even Tottenham, according to reports.
The French captain joined PSG in 2017 initially on loan before making the switch permanently a year later for £150 million, which places him second in all-time record transfer costs behind teammate Neymar’s £198 million departure from Barcelona.
After choosing not to force a move to Real Madrid last year and instead agreeing to a contract extension that will end in 2024 should he decide not to trigger the one-year extension, it is reported that he is already making up to £2 million per week.
Mbappe scored seven goals in the Champions League and 29 goals in just 34 Ligue 1 games last season. He also made history by scoring a hat-trick in the World Cup final, but France ultimately lost to Argentina.
