Kylian Mbappe is willing to become an outcast and sit at the bench rather than join Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia. On Monday, Al Hilal made a record €300 million ($332 million) bid for PSG star.
Paris Saint-Germain confirmed the player’s offer. They’ve even given Al Hilal permission to start direct talks with Mbappe. The French start, on the other hand, seems uninterested in the offer.

According to previous rumours, Mbappe is prepared to sit on the bench in 2023-24 if necessary. According to the source, he is content not to play a single minute this season. That is, when his contract expires next summer, he will join the Spanish club.
While Mbappe would like to sit on the bench, it creates a difficult problem for incoming manager Luis Enrique. It would be worse if PSG were to be ousted from the Champions League without having won the World Cup. The competition is key to the 24-year-old’s objectives since he wants to win the title with Real Madrid.

Mbappé was dropped from PSG’s preseason tour of Japan on Saturday. Unless he can be persuaded to sign a new deal, the French club is set to find an offer for him.
Al Hilal’s offer would make Mbappé the most expensive player ever. It would surpass the $262 million paid by PSG to Barcelona for Neymar in 2017.
The offer is Saudi Arabia’s most ambitious yet, part of a deliberate recruitment campaign to attract the game’s greatest stars to the kingdom. Mbappe’s future will be the story of the summer and maybe the rest of the season if he remains at the club when the transfer window shuts.
