Saudi Arabian soccer team Al-Hilal has made a record-breaking €300 million ($332 million) bid for French soccer icon Kylian Mbappe. The offer, which could see the France striker join Cristiano Ronaldo in the oil-rich kingdom, was reported by the Associated Press and Sky Sports on Monday.
Mbappe, who is the top scorer of the 2022 World Cup, is currently under contract with Paris Saint-Germaine for the upcoming 2023-24 season. However, he is reportedly seeking to join Spanish world power Real Madrid starting in the 2024-25 campaign.
The 24-year-old is in a contract standoff with PSG after his decision not to take up the option of a 12-month extension on his deal. If the transfer to Al-Hilal goes through, it would open the door for an even more lucrative deal, even if it’s just for one year.
The offer from Al-Hilal is the highest ever bid for a soccer player and is a sign of the team’s ambition to become a major player in the sport. It follows the team’s unsuccessful attempt to sign Lionel Messi from Barcelona last year.
The transfer of Mbappe to Al-Hilal is still uncertain, as he is expected to join Real Madrid at the end of the upcoming season. However, the record-breaking bid from the Saudi Arabian team is sure to turn heads in the soccer world.
