Finally, Kylian Mbappe gets a world-record transfer bid

The France sensation Kylian Mbappe has seen his stay at PSG come under scrutiny after the striker was put up for sale by the club.

National Daily earlier reported that the 24-year-old was left out of their pre-season tour, thus making his sale imminent.

Mbappe who has one year remaining on his contract is believed to be unwilling to sign a new deal with the Ligue 1 giants thinking that he plans to join Real Madrid for free next summer.

Now, the report reaching National Daily reveals that Saudi side Al Hilal have made a world-record of £259m bid to sign Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain.

It is understood that PSG made it clear they only want to include players who are committed to the club for their pre-season, hence the reason to leave Mbappe out of the squad for their Asian pre-season tour

National Daily understands that Al Hilal’s record-breaking offer is not the only one PSG have received. They have been approached with a mix of offers for Mbappe, including cash plus players, but Al Hilal have shown their intention after tabling a world-record bid.

There is said to already be a “hot market” for the France captain and PSG are expecting more developments this week with the interested clubs including Chelsea, Man United, Inter Milan and Barcelona.

PSG will listen to any offer and all proposals to sell Mbappe, and If it was left to French champions they would just sell him to the highest bidder, however, other clubs would struggle to ever come anywhere near to Al Hilal’s offer.

The forward has one year remaining on his contract and is unwilling to sign a new one, with PSG believing he has already agreed to join Real Madrid for free next summer.

However, Real may now be tempted to make a formal bid for the player to make sure they don’t miss out on him again.

PSG are determined not to lose Mbappe – who reportedly cost more than £150m when he signed from Monaco – for nothing.

Interested clubs have been alerted to the fact that PSG are even willing to loan Mbappe out for the season.

However, Mbappe is willing to dig his heels in, sit on the sidelines next season and leave for Madrid on a free transfer next summer.

The 24-year-old will not play for PSG again if he does not extend his contract.
