Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe's chapter in the French capital looks set to reach it's end with a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia on the table.
The France international was dropped from PSG's squad for their pre-season tour of Japan, adding further fuel to the rumours of his seemingly imminent exit.

With one year left on his contract, Mbappe has been offered a €400m contract by Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, who are prepared to let him leave in the summer of 2024 for Real Madrid.
After a busy summer of incomings and outgoings, PSG look like they are ready for life without Mbappe dominating Ligue 1.
According to RMC Sport journalist, Fabrice Hawkins, Mbappe is on the radar of Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal who are intent of taking advantage of the chaos surrounding his situation.
Along with a bumper offer of €400m, Al Hilal are also prepared to offer PSG a transfer fee of €200m to seal the deal this summer.
Interestingly enough, the deal also includes an option for Mbappe to join Madrid in the summer of 2024, a move he has been linked with for a while now.
The Saudi Pro League has seen several big names from European football make the jump across with Cristiano Ronaldo being the first, followed by the likes of Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante and Kalidou Koulibaly.
Real Madrid's interest in Mbappe has been long-standing and there is a need to find a replacement for Benzema in Carlo Ancelotti's frontline.
As for PSG, Mbappe's exit may be the best thing for all parties involved and could give them a massive financial boost to revamp the squad to support new boss Luis Enrique.
After the failure of their previous attempts to persuade Mbappe to stay for the long-term, it seems like they are now finally ready to cash in on their prized asset, rather than letting him leave for free.
