Al Hilal’s astonishing bid of £259m to acquire Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain has raised eyebrows in the football world.
PSG has made it known that Mbappe is up for sale and has excluded him from their pre-season tour, only including players who are fully committed to the club.
Al Hilal’s offer is not the only one that PSG has received, as they have been approached with various offers, including cash plus players.
However, Al Hilal has made their intentions clear by submitting a world-record bid.
Several other clubs, including Tottenham, have also expressed interest in signing Mbappe.
PSG is open to considering any offer for Mbappe, but it is unlikely that any other club will come close to Al Hilal’s offer.
Mbappe has one year left on his contract and has refused to sign a new one, with PSG believing that he has already agreed to join Real Madrid for free next summer.
PSG is determined not to lose Mbappe for nothing and is even willing to loan him out for the season.
However, Mbappe is willing to sit out the season and leave for Madrid on a free transfer next summer if he does not extend his contract with PSG.
The player’s union in France has accused PSG of morally harassing Mbappe and has threatened the club with legal action to protect the player’s rights.
