Kylian Mbappe has yet to respond to Al Hilal regarding his £1 billion move offer, as he claims to have rejected a deal on the Saudi side.
Numerous reports claim Al-Hilal made a €300 million offer to Paris Saint-Germain for his on Monday, with the Saudi Pro League club in a position to pay him €700 million for a one-year contract.
This comes after PSG put Mbappe, who has also been connected with a host of Premier League clubs, up for sale, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that the French club felt “betrayed because he is sure Kylian has already agreed a loose move with Real Madrid”.
Reports over the past two days reported that Mbappe refused to move to Saudi Arabia after PSG accepted Al-Hilal’s astronomical offer.
But Ligue 1 expert Jonathan Johnson revealed that Mbappe has “surely answered something” to the Saudi club, with the foreigner from France recently interested in entering into negotiations.
“Without a doubt, the news of the week is Kylian Mbappé, being the great progression that Al Hilal has its delegation in Paris to close the deal of Malcom to sign for Zenit St. Petersburg. Obviously, this has led to various reports on Mbappe’s stage and it has been claimed that Mbappe has categorically rejected Al Hilal, not that he has communicated it, it is that he refuses to enter into talks about the possibility.
“PSG’s acceptance of Al Hilal’s offer is conditional on Mbappe agreeing to move to Saudi Arabia, and the fact that he is not in those talks at the moment only fuels PSG’s suspicions that he has a long-standing deal with Real Madrid.
“It’s conceivable that this has only been in position for a few weeks after his last contract extension last year. Mbappe is also determined to look at his contract with PSG, indicating that a resolution has been made to sign for Real Madrid. “Madrid as a loose agent.

“At the moment, the scenario with Mbappe has changed a lot. He is still no closer to a solution in his long spell at PSG and there is no indication that Real Madrid will come to the table in the coming weeks. “
“There is simply this developing feeling in the PSG ranks that Mbappe has already agreed lucrative terms with Real Madrid and that is why he is surely determined to sign for them in 2024. Of course, we’ll have to wait and see” if this is still compatible with your spending. However, at the moment, Mbappe is even reluctant to start talks with Al Hilal: the offer is there, but he has not responded at all.
“It has been said that PSG have threatened to keep Mbappe on the bench all season if he stays, but I find it difficult for them to actually do that. “
“It would take a long time between now and the end of the summer for PSG and Mbappe to continue together next season, but there have already been sagas like this with Adrien Rabiot and Hatem Ben Arfa. Basically, PSG can keep Mbappe separate from the rest. “The rest of the team while the move window is open, but once it closes, they will have a hard time marginalizing it.
“I think there will be some kind of reinstatement procedure, it doesn’t necessarily mean that Luis Enrique will use him as a player on the pitch and make him a focal point of the team, but PSG could not ban him from the reserves for the full season because of the legal facets that would be involved in a scenario like that.
“There is the French Players’ Union, which can remind PSG that they cannot continue to sideline him in this way once the movement window closes, so the concept of PSG punishing Mbappe in this way does not correspond to the truth. I think if Mbappe ended up at PSG in September, it would probably take some sort of manoeuvre on the part of the player’s team and the club to find a way together.
“Even without the European Championship next summer, a full season without betting would not play in Mbappe’s favour; it is very hard to believe that any aspect would allow the situation to come to that, especially since there would be major legal headaches for PSG.
As Johnson has mentioned, PSG “risks a sanction” if it isolates Mbappé from the rest of the team this season, and the Spanish newspaper AS explains that the Union of French Players “could summon the Paris team if its isolation scenario continues beyond”. September’.
And this can simply “lead to a sporting and monetary sanction” with the player “protected by civil and sports law, which protects the right of professionals to fully fulfill their contracts. “
