France striker Kylian Mbappe has turned down an approach from Saudi Arabian Pro League side Al-Hilal, after Paris Saint-Germain accepted a world-record €300million (£259m) offer for the talisman.
A delegation from Al-Hilal had travelled to the French capital city on Wednesday in a bid to open negotiations, and have attempted to convince Mbappe to join the Saudi Pro League, offering him an astonishing deal with an annual wage of £604m (€700m).
During their visit, Al-Hilal representatives had hoped to hold face-to-face talks with Mbappe’s representatives to try and persuade him to join their project.
Mbappe’s entourage however refused any discussions with the club, with the PSG star at no point considering a move to the Middle East.
The Ligue 1 champions had recently put the 24-year-old up for sale, following his decision not to extend his current contract at the Parc de Princes outfit.
His current deal expires at the end of the upcoming season upon which, he will be able to leave the club on a free transfer. PSG are adamant that will not happen and are actively listening to offers for the World Cup winner.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has already confirmed plans to sell Mbappe this summer if he does not agree a new deal, with the forward left out of the club’s pre-season tour of Japan.
