Tensions rise as Kylian Mbappe, the talented forward, receives a staggering offer from Al-Hilal, doubling the sum paid to acquire Newcastle. The future of Mbappe is currently a hot topic, with Al-Hilal recently proposing a jaw-dropping transfer deal worth 335 million euros to secure him from PSG.
Setting a New Record:
Should the deal go through, Mbappe would become the most expensive signing in football history, surpassing Neymar’s 222 million euros move to PSG in 2017. It’s worth noting that Mbappe currently holds the second-highest transfer fee record when he joined PSG from Monaco for 180 million euros.
A Hefty Salary:
Not only is Al-Hilal prepared to pay a whopping transfer fee, but they are also offering Mbappe an annual salary of 750 million euros. This staggering amount is twice the sum Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) used to acquire Newcastle in 2021 when the Premier League club was purchased for 305 million pounds (approximately 365 million euros).
Al-Hilal’s Irresistible Offer:
The astronomical offer from Al-Hilal leaves no surprise that PSG immediately accepted it. With PSG unable to persuade Mbappe to renew his contract, they have decided to part ways with him this summer to avoid losing him for free next year.
Considering the Offer:
At first glance, Al-Hilal’s proposal seems tempting for Mbappe. The Saudi-based club is only seeking a one-year contract, allowing the French striker to join Real Madrid in the summer of 2024, as he desires.
Mbappe’s Decision:
Despite the enticing offer, reports from Relevo indicate that Mbappe has turned down Al-Hilal’s proposal. He seems unwilling to join a league with a lower reputation like the Saudi Pro League and would rather spend the upcoming season on the PSG bench than make such a move.
The saga surrounding Mbappe’s future continues to captivate football fans worldwide. As Al-Hilal’s record-breaking offer is turned down, the football world eagerly awaits what lies ahead for one of the sport’s brightest stars.
