Kylian Mbappe is now reportedly considering a move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal despite previous claims he has no interest in pursuing a transfer there.
The France international was put up for sale by Paris Saint-Germain over the weekend with Fabrizio Romano claiming the French club “feel betrayed as they’re certain Kylian has already agreed a free transfer with Real Madrid”.
That left PSG demanding Mbappe signed a ‘new deal or leave now’ by July 15 but nothing changed and it was announced over the weekend that he had been left out of their pre-season tour and put up for sale.
Numerous reports since then have linked the World Cup winner with clubs from all over Europe, including the Premier League, and Saudi Arabia.
It was revealed earlier this week that Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal has launched a €300m offer to PSG for Mbappe with the club willing to offer €700m to the player for just one year at the club.
Their offer was accepted by PSG but there were reports out of Spain yesterday which claimed Mbappe had no intention of leaving Europe as his priority remained winning trophies on the continent.

A report from Relevo insisted that Mbappe ‘does not want to play’ in Saudi Arabia at this stage of his career with respected French football expert Julien Laurens also doubting the forward’s desire to play in the Middle East.
There have been rumours that Liverpool have made a ‘super offer’ for Mbappe while reports in Spain claimed Arsenal were willing to offer Gabriel Martinelli in a deal for a Frenchman.
A move to Liverpool and Arsenal have reportedly been rejected by Mbappe, who prefers the idea of his ‘dream’ transfer to Real Madrid.
And now the Press Association insists that PSG are expecting more bids from top clubs around Europe with a ‘player swap element’ to the proposals.
The Press Association report: “Sources close to the French club say further bids are also expected, but may take longer to formulate because they are likely to involve a player swap element.
“Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, Inter Milan and Barcelona have expressed an interest in Mbappe since his omission from the pre-season tour on Friday, sources have said.”
