The future of French football sensation Kylian Mbappe has taken yet another dramatic turn as renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano disclosed that Al Hilal, a Saudi Arabia Pro-League side, has made a stunning €300m offer for the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) frontman. This jaw-dropping bid has raised eyebrows in the football world, potentially influencing Mbappe’s next move.
Earlier this summer, Mbappe confirmed his decision not to extend his contract with PSG, which is set to expire in 2024. Aware of the risk of losing their prized asset as a free transfer in less than a year, PSG seems inclined to cash in on the 24-year-old forward now.
While few clubs worldwide can afford such a massive transfer, several notable destinations have been linked to Mbappe’s future. Manchester United has been associated with a possible move should a Sheikh Jassim-led takeover of the club materialize. Real Madrid has also emerged as a strong contender, with rumors suggesting that Mbappe has already agreed to join the Spanish giants on a free transfer next summer.
However, Al Hilal’s unexpected entry into the race has turned the situation on its head. Romano confirmed that the Gulf State club submitted a formal €300m bid to PSG to initiate discussions for Mbappe’s services. This astronomical offer, amounting to £259.1m, has given PSG much to consider. If Mbappe remains steadfast in his stance against a contract extension in France, the offer is likely to be seriously entertained.
Shortly after Romano’s revelation, French publication L’Equipe reported that PSG is ‘ready to accept’ Al Hilal’s proposal for Mbappe. Furthermore, rumors indicate that PSG is willing to match Cristiano Ronaldo’s exorbitant salary in an attempt to retain the World Cup winner.
While PSG may make a final effort to retain Mbappe with a colossal 10-year contract offer, signs still point to the star forward departing from the club in the near or medium term.
Regarding his next club, Romano suggests that Real Madrid remains the frontrunner for Mbappe’s signature, stating, “PSG remains convinced that Mbappe has already agreed terms with Real Madrid, with a contract ready.”
However, Al Hilal’s audacious bid introduces a significant complication, presenting Mbappe with a critical decision about his future. If he chooses to remain in Europe, he might have to accept a proposal that falls short of his current £700,000-a-week deal at PSG.
As football enthusiasts await further developments, the whirlwind of speculation surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s next move continues to captivate the global football community.
