Kylian Mbappe Breaks Silence on Al-Hilal’s World Record £259million Offer to PSG

Kylian Mbappe, the talented footballer currently with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), has broken his silence following an astonishing £259 million offer made by Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal. The bid comes as PSG considers selling Mbappe, whose contract has only one year left after he declined to sign a new deal.

NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo added humour to the situation by playfully tweeting, “Al Hilal, you can take me. I look like Kylian Mbappe,” in response to the bid. Mbappe responded with a series of laughing emojis, demonstrating good spirits despite the transfer speculation.

Relevo reported that Mbappe has no intention of playing in Saudi Arabia, and he is determined to fulfil the final year of his PSG contract. The French champions are keen to avoid losing the forward on a free transfer, as PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi emphasized it would be “impossible” for that scenario to unfold.

While the world record bid from Al-Hilal could potentially see Mbappe earn a staggering £600 million in one year, the star is reportedly willing to sit on the bench throughout the season if necessary due to the ongoing standoff with the club. PSG has already left him off the pre-season tour.

The offer from Al-Hilal would surpass Neymar’s £198 million move from Barcelona to PSG, becoming the most expensive transfer in football history. Additionally, there are rumours of a potential release clause in the lucrative contract, allowing Mbappe to join Real Madrid next summer. It is believed that the French star has long desired a move to Real, with PSG believing he has already agreed to join the Spanish giants for free in 2024.

While Al-Hilal has been actively recruiting top talent this summer, other clubs have also expressed interest in Mbappe. Sky Sports reported that at least five clubs, including Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur, have reached out to PSG over the weekend. The Premier League teams see Mbappe as a prized addition to strengthen their squads.

As the transfer window progresses, Mbappe’s future remains a subject of intense speculation, with several clubs vying for his signature.
