Mbappé is reluctant to leave PSG until the end of the season
Kylian Mbappé has been offered the chance to play in Saudi Arabia for one season before joining Real Madrid in 2024.
Mbappé’s future is hot conversation at the moment with the Frenchman confirming he will not extend his deal at Paris Saint-Germain – which expires next summer – but has no plans to leave until the end of the 2023/2024 campaign.
PSG meanwhile are now finally prepared to sell the forward so that they don’t lose him for free and have even left him out of the club’s pre-season tour of Japan.
While Madrid seem keen to wait until next summer to avoid paying an inflated fee, RMC Sport journalist, Fabrice Hawkins has reported that Al Hilal are interested in signing the World Cup winner.
As part of the alleged deal, they will offer the 24-year-old €400m-a-year while also paying PSG a fee of €200m to sign him. The contract will also contain a clause that will allow him to join Madrid in 2024.
Los Blancos are looking for a new long-term strike after Karim Benzema’s departure at the end of last season.
The Saudi Pro League has signed a raft of big names this summer including Benzema, N’Golo Kanté, Rúben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly and more and plan to try and attract even more.
Al Hilal are one of the most active sides and have reportedly held discussions about trying to sign Harry Kane this summer and have also been linked with Aleskandar Mitrović and Allan Saint-Maximin.
