Al-Hilal makes a world-record $332 million bid for Kylian Mbappé

Al-Hilal has made an unprecedented bid of $332 million for Kylian Mbappé, setting a new world record. As a result, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has granted Mbappé permission to negotiate personal terms with Al-Hilal. The offer from the Saudi Arabian club would be for a single year, allowing Mbappé the opportunity to join Real Madrid in 2024. If he accepts this deal, his potential one-year salary would amount to a staggering $776 million.

A key aspect of Al-Hilal’s offer is that it still allows Mbappé to pursue a move to Real Madrid in the following year, a move that PSG suspects may have already been agreed upon, along with a signing-on fee of approximately $178 million. Currently, Mbappé is training in Paris with some unwanted teammates while the rest of the squad is in Japan for an Asian summer tour, which he was not included in.

PSG’s stance remains firm: Mbappé can be part of their future plans if he extends his contract beyond its expiration in 2024. However, Mbappé has already informed the club that he will not exercise the option to extend his deal until 2025 under any circumstances.

Al Hilal, backed by the Public Investment Fund, is eager to make Mbappé their marquee signing and has been spending significantly this summer. This potential transfer represents an entirely new level in terms of transfer fee and salary offers. PSG is determined not to lose Mbappé on a free transfer next summer, and this opportunity from Al-Hilal seems like a dream scenario for them.

While it is still uncertain whether Mbappé will actually make the move to Saudi Arabia, the situation is undeniably intriguing. Al-Hilal’s interest not only puts pressure on Real Madrid to act promptly to secure the Frenchman but also presents an alternative for Mbappé, who might otherwise risk spending the upcoming season on the sidelines in Paris without a new contract.

Although European clubs may struggle to match the financial prowess of Saudi clubs, Mbappé’s potential availability could attract serious offers from well-funded teams, including those from competitions like the Premier League.
