BREAKING: Kylian Mbappe has REJECTED a move to Al Hilal

Kylian Mbappe has rejected a move to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, according to Fabrizio Romano.

On Monday, it was reported that Paris Saint-Germain accepted a world record bid from Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal to sign the French superstar worth €300 million (£260m).

The move was set to make Mbappe the highest earner in world football, raking in €700m each year.

However, the 24-year-old has decided against a move to the Middle East. That's according to transfer expert Romano, who claims that he turned down the chance to negotiate with the Saudi representatives who came to Paris on Wednesday.

Romano tweeted: Despite Al Hilal delegation flying to Paris Kylian Mbappé has rejected to negotiate with Al Hilal.

"Mbappé has currently no intention to open talks despite €200m fixed salary proposal plus 100% image rights.

"PSG, convinced that Mbappé agreed terms with Real Madrid."

His decision means he is back on the transfer market as PSG seek an immediate buyer after he snubbed a new contract at the Ligue 1 giants.

Speaking earlier in the week, Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol claimed there were at least five clubs interested in signing Mbappe, including Manchester United.

He explained on Sky Sports' Transfer Show: "The Al Hilal offer is not the only offer PSG have received.

"The market for Mbappe is, in quote, hyper, hyper competitive. A huge number of clubs have expressed interest in the past 48 hours and are formulating bids.

"PSG, we're being told, will listen to any offer. They don't care where he goes. No emotions. It's all about money now.

"They will listen to loan offers, but obviously they would prefer a large transfer fee.

"PSG believe interested clubs include Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, Inter Milan and Barcelona.

"Of course, none of those clubs would ever be able to come close to Al Hilal's offer. But PSG are saying, 'We will listen to any offer'. There is a feeling that Real Madrid could now be tempted to make an offer."
