Saudi club Al-Hilal is preparing a massive offer for Kylian Mbappé that could break multiple football financial records, including a 700 million euro annual salary and 300 million euro transfer fee.
Saudi Pro League clubs dominated the 2023 summer transfer window by signing top stars like Cristiano Ronaldo to Al-Nassr on a 200 million euro yearly salary. Players such as Ruben Neves, N’Golo Kanté, Hakim Ziyech, Marcelo Brozovic, and Malcom followed, choosing lucrative deals over European careers.
With the transfer window still open, Al-Hilal eyes Mbappé as its marquee signing. Betting analysts recently raised the odds of his move to 35% from 10%, citing his contract dispute at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Mbappé wants to leave PSG as a free agent in 2024 for Real Madrid, but PSG demands a contract extension. The conflict sidelined him from the club’s Japan tour while teammates played friendlies.
Al-Hilal’s proposal offers a one-year deal with freedom to join Real Madrid afterward, featuring these record-breaking terms:
- 700 million euro salary for the year – the highest in football history
- 300 million euro transfer fee to PSG – the largest deal ever
- Mbappé would become the youngest athlete to earn 1 billion euros in career earnings
Facing a potential season ban at PSG, Mbappé weighs a year without football against a massive payday in Saudi Arabia.
