Kylian Mbappe
French giants Paris Saint-Germain has finally accepted an amount of €300million from Saudi Arabia side Al Hilal for the services of Kylian Mbappe as reported earlier by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on Monday, July 24.
Read full articleA report from Sky Sports has indicated that PSG has allowed Al Hilal to open talks with Mbappe and his management, meaning the €300million has been accepted by the club, pending Mbappe’s confirmation of his desire to leave for the Arab country.
The 24-year-old, who is refusing to sign an extension with the French champions, has been put up for sale and was also left out of the club’s pre-season tour for Japan and South Korea.
Mbappe is already thought to have an agreement in place to join Real Madrid next year on a free transfer having made it clear he will not be triggering a one-year extension, but PSG is desperate to land a fee now.
The French captain moved to PSG initially on loan in 2017 before completing a £150m transfer a year later.
He is believed to earn as much as £2m a week already after opting against forcing a move to Real Madrid last year, instead signing a contract extension that expires in 2024 should he choose not to trigger the one-year extension.
Mbappe netted 29 goals in just 34 appearances in Ligue 1 last season, as well as netting seven times in the Champions League, while he famously scored a hat-trick in the World Cup final but ultimately ended up on the losing side against Argentina.
