Al Hilal makes world record bid for Kylian Mbappe

Reuters: Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal have made a world record bid for Paris St Germain striker Kylian Mbappe according to media reports on Monday.

Al Hilal are said to have made an offer in the region of 300 million euros ($333 million) for the 24-year-old France captain, who was not included in PSG’s squad for their Asian pre-season tour amid reports that he has been put up for sale by the Ligue 1 side.

Relations between Mbappe and PSG have been tense since the French forward said last month he would not renew his contract which expires at the end of next season, when he could leave Paris for free.

Meanwhile, Mbappé appeared to be on the verge of joining Real Madrid. The world-record price paid by Barcelona to PSG for Neymar in 2017 was €222 million. The forward from Brazil’s contract is set to end in June 2025.

According to reports, there have been no talks between the 24-year-old and Al Hilal.
