Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal have submitted a world-record bid for Kylian Mbappé, understood to be worth €300 million (£259 million), according to renowned football transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano.
The move comes after Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) left the forward out of their squad for the pre-season tour of Japan, determined to sell him unless he signs a new contract.
There have been no talks between Al-Hilal and Mbappé, and PSG remain convinced that the 24-year-old has agreed terms to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer. Mbappé joined PSG from Monaco in 2018 for £166 million.
The bid from Al-Hilal is the highest ever for a player, surpassing the €222 million that PSG paid for Neymar in 2017. It is unclear whether Mbappé would be interested in a move to Saudi Arabia, but the offer is a sign of the club’s ambition.
