Paris Saint-Germain, the French champions, have accepted Al Hilal’s world record bid of €300m (£259m) to sign Kylian Mbappe. The Qatari-owned club believes that multiple clubs, including Tottenham, are interested in acquiring the France captain. PSG has granted Mbappe permission to speak to the Saudi club.
Relations between Mbappe and PSG have been strained since the forward announced that he would not renew his contract, which expires at the end of the upcoming season. PSG President Nasser al Khelaifi has made it clear that they will not allow Mbappe to leave for free.
Sky Sports News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol has reported that PSG has received several offers for Mbappe, including cash plus players. Other clubs rumored to be interested include Manchester United, Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Barcelona. There are also media reports suggesting that Mbappe has already agreed to join Real Madrid next summer free of charge, although PSG still hopes to secure a transfer fee for the player.
Mbappe joined PSG initially on a loan deal in 2017, which was later made permanent. However, it is now unlikely that he will play for the club again unless he extends his contract. Reports suggest that Mbappe is currently earning up to £2m a week at PSG and could expect even higher wages if he were to secure a deal with his current club.
The players’ union in France, the Union Nationale des Footballeurs Professionels (UNFP), has accused PSG of morally harassing Mbappe. The UNFP has threatened legal action against the club to protect the rights of the forward.
In conclusion, Paris Saint-Germain has accepted Al Hilal’s staggering bid to sign Kylian Mbappe, with multiple clubs showing interest in acquiring the France captain. The strained relationship between Mbappe and PSG has fueled speculation about his future, with reports suggesting he may join Real Madrid next summer. The players’ union has accused PSG of mistreating Mbappe. The situation continues to unfold, and it remains to be seen where Mbappe will ultimately end up.
