HIL TO CLIMB Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal ‘launch world-record £260MILLION Mbappe transfer’ as PSG look to offload contract rebel

AL HILAL have launched a world-record £260million bid for Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe, according to reports.

PSG are looking to sell Mbappe, with the Frenchman having entered the final year of his contract.

Al Hilal's bid would blow PSG's £198m record signing of Neymar out of the water.

It would also see the French champions make a nearly £100m profit on Mbappe, having signed him for £162m in 2018 - despite the forward's contract situation.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Al Hilal have launched their stunning bid in order to open talks with the 24-year-old.

He adds that no talks have yet taken place between the Saudi Pro League side and Mbappe's camp.

PSG chiefs remain convinced that the 2018 World Cup winner has already agreed a deal with Real Madrid.
