Kylian Mbappe with thePSG,Real Madrid, Al Hilal badges.
Saudi Arabian outfitAl-Hilalare ɾєρօɾτedly pushing to sign Kylian Mbappe, who has been put up for sale by Paris Saint-Germain.
On Friday evening, it was widely ɾєρօɾτed that Mbappe has been left out of the Parisiens’ squad for their pre-season tour of Japan.
The decision was taken after Mbappe made it clear he has no intention to stay at the club beyond 2024.
PSG essentially gave the France captain an ultimatum: sign a new contract with usor be sold this summer.
Obviously, selling the best player in the world will not be simple and cannot materialise overnight, especially considering he does not want to leave yet.
There are not a host of clubs able to afford Mbappe.PSGare expected to want at least £100million and the player’s wage demands are extraordinary.
This has opened the door for a shock move to Saudi Arabia.
Mbappe is ɾєρօɾτedly eager to stay in Europe and play in the Champions League, though PIF-owned Al-Nassr,Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Ahly may be the only clubs willing to meet PSG’s demands.
No matter how angryPSGare with the player, should they fail to sell him this summer, surely they will not exile him from their squad? They have no chance of winning the Champions League without him and everyone and their dog knows that is the єɴԀ goal for the club’s hierarchy.
Transfer expert Ben Jacobs has said the Saudis are “prepared” to sign Mbappe and are willing to have the French superstar in their league for a single season before he joinsReal Madridfor nothing.
Jacobs wrote on Twitter: “Understand Saudi Ԁєɑłmakers are prepared to make an offer for Kylian Mbappe this summer even if they only get him for one season & then he joined Real.
“Mbappe’s ρłɑɴ is to stay in Europe so a difficult transfer to pull off.PSGwould have no issue selling to Saudi.”
More specifically,Foot Mercatojournalist Santi Aouna claimedAl-Hilalare looking to make a play to land Mbappe.
“The Saudi government now wants to signKylian Mbappe,” Aouna wrote on Twitter.
“After failing to recruit Messi, the government is prepared to offer a huge contract for Kylian Mbappe to joinAl-Hilal.
“For now, Mbappe’s ‘official’ position remains the same: stay atPSG.”
The player’s stance means a move to the middle east is pretty unlikely andL’Equipeadds that there is ‘almost zero chance’ Mbappe would leavePSGfor a club other thanReal Madrid. Sorry,ArsenalandLiverpoolfɑɴȿ.
Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano saysPSGare “open to every solution” and are “convinced” Mbappe already has an “agreement” withLos Blancos.
A ɾєρօɾτ fromThe Athletichas said a one-year stint in Saudi Arabia is a possibility and one that would make Mbappe’s already ridiculous bank balance look out of this world.
