Several clubs are interested in signing Mbappe, including those fromSaudi Arabia. Fabrizio Romano, speaking exclusively toCaughtOffside, has ɾєⱱєɑłєԀ that attempts will be made to tempt the 24-year-old to the Middle East.
“The reality is that from Saudi they want to try with a record bid, but all parties involved know very well thatReal Madridare the favourite destination of Kylian.Real Madridare keeping it quiet but they’re still waiting forPSGto communicate clear price tag for Kylian this summer.
“There is nothing concrete with Saudi clubs at the moment, but they will try an astronomical, world-record bid for Mbappe. Still, they know, as does everyone else around the world, that in Mbappe’s mind, it’sReal Madrid.”
Real Madrid’sintention remains to sign Mbappenext summer, when they can get him on a free, but they could be forced into entering the bidding now if significant developments occur over the next few weeks.
