In a stunning development, French football star Kylian Mbappé has received a massive transfer offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, and PSG has reportedly given the green light for the negotiations to proceed. The transfer fee in question is a staggering €300 million, as reported by Sky Sports News’ Kaveh Solhekol.
The drama intensified as Al Hilal upped the ante with an astounding $332 million bid for the 24-year-old player, surpassing their previous offer of $222.5 million made just two days prior, according to ESPN. However, despite the record-breaking bid, Mbappé has allegedly shown disinterest in the offer, as reported by ESPN.
Al Hilal is leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of the French superstar, reportedly offering him a jaw-dropping deal worth $776 million. This substantial package is said to include a staggering net salary of $221 million per year and additional income from lucrative commercial deals. The club’s proposal also grants Mbappé full control over his image rights, further sweetening the deal, according to CBS soccer correspondent James Benge and soccer insider Fabrizio Romano.
An additional twist to this transfer saga is Al Hilal’s willingness to allow Mbappé to join Real Madrid in 2024, a club that has been heavily linked to the player for several years. While the prospect of playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in Riyadh may be enticing, the final decision lies with Mbappé, who now holds the key to his future.
The situation at PSG has been less than ideal for the young prodigy, as evidenced by his omission from the club’s summer roster. This move was seen as a signal that PSG was prepared to move on from Kylian Mbappé. However, the player remains under contract with the club until next summer, as he had previously stated his intention to leave after the current contract’s conclusion.
Time is of the essence for PSG, as the summer transfer deadline is set for September 1 at 11 p.m. ET. Should they fail to secure a deal by that time, they will have to wait until the winter transfer window opens on January 1, 2024. ESPNFC reported that in such a scenario, PSG may choose to keep Mbappé on the bench to preserve his value for a potential future transfer.
As the football world eagerly awaits the outcome of these negotiations, the future of one of the sport’s brightest stars remains uncertain. The decision lies solely with Kylian Mbappé, who will now engage in discussions with Al Hilal to determine his next move in what has become a captivating transfer saga.
