Paris Saint-Germain have accepted Al Hilal's record €300 million (£260m) bid to sign Kylian Mbappe this summer, according to reports.
Last Friday, PSG confirmed the 24-year-old was up for sale after he was left out of the club's pre-season tour of Japan.
Mbappe insisted that he would not sign a new contract with the Ligue 1 side, despite allegedly being offered a 10-year contract at the Parc des Princes worth €1 billion.
It is widely thought that the Frenchman is keen to pursue his dream of playing for Real Madrid, having reportedly agreed a free transfer to the Bernabeu for next summer when his contract expires.

On Monday morning, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano tweeted that Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal submitted a world record bid to sign Mbappe worth €300 million (£260m), smashing the previous record fee set by Neymar €222m (£191m) in 2017.
Details of Al Hilal's formal contract offer has since been revealed, which would make Mbappe by far and away the highest earner in world football. The deal would also reportedly allow him to join Real Madrid after just one season on a free transfer.
Sky Sports have now confirmed that the bid has been accepted, claiming that the Ligue 1 giants have given Al Hilal "permission to speak to Mbappe".
However, Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol has since revealed that there has been no indication that Mbappe is keen on a move to the Middle East.
"He feels that his future is Europe and he feels his future is Real Madrid", Solhekol told Sky's Transfer Show. "But I would never say never."
