Al Hilal, a Saudi Arabian club, has reportedly made an astonishing offer of €700 million per year in salary to lure Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to the Saudi Pro League.
Personal talks between Hilal and Mbappe have commenced, with the club proposing a one-year contract and an option to extend for another year.
If the deal goes through, Mbappe could potentially become the world’s highest-paid athlete.
The offer translates to an incredible income for Mbappe, earning him €22 per second, €1,332 per minute, €79,900 per hour, €1.9 million per day, €13.3 million per week, and €58.33 million per month.
Al Hilal has already made a record-breaking bid of €300 million to secure the services of the French superstar, and football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that they have formally submitted the offer and are looking to initiate talks with PSG.
Paris Saint-Germain seems open to cashing in on Mbappe, especially after leaving him out of their pre-season squad due to challenges in extending his contract.
There have been reports in the French media suggesting that PSG suspects the 24-year-old has already agreed to join Real Madrid on a free transfer.
Mbappe signed a three-year deal with PSG during the 2022 summer transfer window. The Frenchman signed a contract of two years with an option to renew for another year, SkySports claims.
He has now played the first year out of the two years and would be available to begin talks with clubs in January 2024, if he does not trigger the extension clause.
SkySports also indicated that the World Cup winner wants to join Real Madrid and PSG intends to sell him for a high price rather than lose him for nothing.
