AL Hilal made Real Madrid panic, Kylian Mbappe was offered 259 million pounds. With this value, Mbappe will break the record for the world’s most expensive transfer.
Mbappe’s future at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is being questioned because his contract is set to expire in June 2024. On the other hand, the player reportedly has an agreement with Real Madrid.
On the other hand, Luis Enrique’s team wants to sell it immediately this summer so they can continue to benefit from its sale. The 24-year-old star has also been kicked out of the PSG squad who are on a pre-season tour in Japan, which shows the seriousness of his team to let him go.
Top European clubs of the calibre of Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Inter Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid lined up to get his signature. However, an unexpected offer actually came from a club from Saudi Arabia, Al Hilal.
According to the Evening Standard report, on Monday (24/7/2023), Al Hilal dared to spend 259 million Pounds. They are believed to have made the offer in writing to PSG.
If the French League giants accept it, then Mbappe’s move to Al Hilal will break the record for the most expensive transfer in the world. Currently, the record is still held by the transfer of Neymar when he moved to PSG from Barcelona in 2017 for a fee of 200 million Pounds.
Al Hilal already has a lot of big names at this point. They have signed Kalidou Koulibaly from Chelsea, Ruben Neves from Wolverhampton Wanderers as well as former Lazio captain Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Al Hilal’s seriousness in bringing the stars of the Blue Continent to their squad is clear to fulfil their ambition to become champions of the Saudi Arabian League next year. Because last season they only finished in third place behind the champions Al Ittihad and Al Nassr.
