Saudi Arabian club act after Mbappé left out of PSG tourPSG want to sell Mbappé unless he extends contract
The Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal have submitted a world-record bid, understood to be worth €300m (£259m), for Kylian Mbappé. The move comes after Paris Saint-Germain left the forward out of their squad for the pre-season tour of Japan, determined to sell him unless he signs a new contract.
There have been no talks between Al-Hilal and Mbappé, and PSG remain convinced the 24-year-old has agreed terms to join Real Madrid on a free next summer. Mbappé joined PSG from Monaco in 2018 for £166m.
