Saudi Al Hilal makes £259m record bid for Mbappe

Saudi Arabian club, Al Hilal, have submitted a world-record bid of £259 million to the French club, Paris Saint-Germain to sign French international forward Kylian Mbappe from the club.

The bid, which is a world record-breaking offer, is believed not to be the only one PSG has received for the French captain, as there are speculations that many top clubs have shown interest and submitted bids for the legs of the player to the Parisian club.

Some of these high profile clubs, including Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United, Inter Milan and Barcelona, are said to have submitted bids, including cash-plus players deals, for the free-scoring forward.

Mbappe, who still has one year remaining on his contract, is believed to be on his way out of the French champions club as he has refused to fully commit to the club for the new season. There are also rumours that he has agreed to personal terms to join Real Madrid for free next summer.
