NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Paris Saint-Germain are willing to accept Al Hilal’s eye-watering £259million bid for Kylian Mbappe, though the forward is unconvinced and has other suitors queuing up.
The 24-year-old, who is refusing to sign an extension with the French champions, has been put up for sale and was also left out of the club’s pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea.
Mbappe is already thought to have an agreement in place to join Real Madrid next year on a free transfer having made it clear he will not be triggering a one-year extension, but PSG are desperate to land a fee now.
That has seen Al Hilal put forward a potential compromise, proposing to pay PSG a world record £259m transfer fee before handing Mbappe a one-year deal that would allow him join Real for free next summer.
