How Kylian Mbappe's possible Al Hilal salary would compare to the rest of the highest-paid footballers in the world

Kylian Mbappe has been linked with a sensational mega-money move to Saudi Arabia.

Over the last few weeks, there have been reports that Mbappe will not sign a new deal at Paris Saint Germain and is hoping to move to Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer.

However, PSG are believed to be unwilling to let Mbappe leave for free and therefore have reportedly put him up for sale ahead of the 23/24 season.

On Monday, it was reported that Saudi Professional League side Al Hilal have made a huge €300 million offer for Mbappe.

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano tweeted: “Al Hilal have submitted formal bid to Paris Saint-Germain in order to open talks for Kylian Mbappé. Understand it’s worth €300m — record fee.

“No talks on player side. PSG remain convinced that Mbappé already agreed terms with Real Madrid with contract ready.”

CBS journalist James Benge has claimed that Al Hilal are prepared to offer Mbappe a whopping one-year deal worth €700 million, which roughly equates to £604 million.

If Mbappe accepts to join Al Hilal, he has the option to join Madrid for free when his one-year deal expires at the end of the 23/24 season.
