The news of Al-Hilal's massive offer to France and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star footballer Kylian Mbappe has generated a debate among football fans. Sources claim that after PSG officials were forced to put him up for sale, Al-Hilal of the Saudi Pro League made an astounding INR 2712 crore offer to the French club.
Although Mbappe hasn't publicly talked on this matter as of now, it would be interesting to see what he decides given that the Saudi Club is reportedly willing to make the French sensation a 1-year offer of INR 6329 crores. Meanwhile, Mbappe retweeted a tweet on July 25 from the NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo who posted a picture of himself with a caption, which says, βAl Hilal you can take me. I look like Kylian Mbappeβ. Mbappe retweeted the tweet with several laughing emojis.

Al Hilal earlier tried to sign Lionel Messi
Many fans and football experts believe that Saudi Pro League does not provide the same platform and spotlight as Europe's top divisions, despite the recent inclusion of some young talents. But money is unquestionably the kind of thing that an athlete cannot simply refuse.
In his final season at PSG, Mbappe will earn INR 1356 crores, but the French club is looking to sell their top player now in order to prevent him from leaving for free in the next summer transfer window. Mbappe's career, in the opinion of many followers, will suffer the most if he participates in the Saudi Pro League because he is only 24 years old and shouldn't be wasting his talent and skills in Saudi Arabia.
Interestingly, Al Hilal reportedly tried to sign Lionel Messi as well, but the captain of the 2022 FIFA World Cup champion side decided to negotiate a deal with MLS team Inter Miami. The sources claim that PSG has already agreed to accept Al Hilal's offer to mediate negotiations between the player and the Saudi club. If this happens, itβd be the biggest deal in the history of football.
