Soccer superstar Kylian Mbappé has turned down a staggering offer from Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal that included an annual salary of €700m. Mbappé is a coveted target for top European clubs like Real Madrid, but it’s now completely unclear how things will continue.
Football fans are used to the fact that the salaries and transfer fees that are currently being paid are beyond their imagination. But the latest rumors about the French superstar Kylian Mbappé have once again overshadowed everything that had happened before.
According to this, Al-Hilal, a club from Saudi Arabia, offered the 24-year-old an annual salary of 700 million euros. But that’s not all: Mbappé’s contract with the Qatar club Paris Saint-Germain runs for another year. Al-Hilal seemed ready to pay a transfer fee of 300 million euros anyway. However, it is now clear: Mbappé will not switch to the Saudis. According to media reports, he turned down the offer.
