In a historic move, Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal has put forward a jaw-dropping €300 million bid for the highly sought-after football sensation, Kylian Mbappé.
This astonishing offer exceeds the previous bid made by Real Madrid for the French star in 2022, surpassing it by an astounding €100 million.

The timing of this bid is particularly significant, as it comes just after Paris Saint-Germain decides to exclude Mbappé from their pre-season tour of Japan.
This move from PSG indicates their intention to sell the talented player should he not agree to a new contract.
The speculations surrounding Mbappé’s future began when he chose not to activate a one-year extension in his contract with PSG, thereby signaling that he would not remain with the club until 2025.
It’s worth noting that Saudi Pro League clubs have been making significant investments this summer to acquire top-tier talent from European football.

Al-Hilal, being one of four teams in the country owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, has been at the forefront of this ambitious endeavor.
The same fund holds majority ownership of Newcastle United and has already secured signings of prominent players like Rúben Neves, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, and Kalidou Koulibaly.
The pursuit of Mbappé by Al-Hilal reflects the club’s determination to make a lasting impact on the global football scene and solidify its position among the world’s footballing giants.
