7NEWS: Saudi Arabian team Al-Hilal make world record $500m bid for football superstar Kylian Mbappe
The 2018 World Cup winner is in a contract standoff with PSG after his decision not to take up the option of a 12-month extension on his deal.
PSG cut Mbappe from its pre-season tour of Japan on Saturday, with the French club determined to sell him unless he can be convinced to sign a new contract. Al-Hilal’s bid would make Mbappe the most expensive football player in history, overtaking the $A390 million PSG paid for Neymar when the team signed the Brazilian from Barcelona in 2017.The Al-Hilal bid represents Saudi Arabia’s most ambitious move yet as part of a determined recruitment drive to lure the game’s biggest players to the country.
