Kylian Mbappe of PSG to sign biggest transfer deal of football history at $1.1 billion with Al-Hilal? What we know so far

Al-Hilal has made an official bid of €300 million ($332 million) for Kylian Mbappe, the rising superstar of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and France, according to transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano and The Athletic.

Following this, L'Equipe in France reported that PSG's owners from Qatar are open to accepting the proposal, which would shatter the current world transfer record for a football player. However, for the deal to materialize, they must convince Mbappe to switch teams.

It is speculated that Al-Hilal is prepared to offer Mbappe an astounding €700 million ($776 million) for a single season, after which he would be free to join Real Madrid. This extraordinary sum would amount to a staggering €1 billion ($1.1 billion) in total, surpassing Lionel Messi's previous record for the highest-paid sports contract, Forbes reported citing CBS Sports' James Benge.


Apart from Real Madrid and Al-Hilal, Spanish giant Barcelona, top English clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham and Italian side Inter Milan have shown keen interest in signing the French world cup winner, as per reports.

Back in 2017, PSG set the current world transfer record when they activated Neymar's release clause at FC Barcelona, paying an eye-watering €222 million ($246 million). Mbappe's move to PSG in the same year had to be managed through a loan due to Financial Fair Play restrictions, as the club had already expended an enormous fee to secure Neymar's services.

Subsequently, in the following year, Mbappe joined PSG permanently from Monaco for a total arrangement of €145 million ($160 million), with an additional €35 million ($39 million) in add-ons, making him the most expensive teenager in football history.
