Kylian Mbappe celebrates scoring a goal in a Euro 2024 qualifier.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has rejected a deal to join Arsenal this summer in favour of Real Madrid, according to reports.

The France international has been offered a staggering deal worth €700m for one year at Al-Hilal with the Saudi Pro League club making a bid of €300m to PSG, which has been accepted.

A number of reports have already claimed that Mbappe doesn’t want to move to Saudi Arabia as he wants to achieve things in Europe in the upcoming campaign.
French football journalist Lisa Leroux thinks Mbappe “really is a once in a generation player” but that “he won’t go, for him it’s more than just about the money”.No player has ever been offered this salary in football, and I think even in sporting history for one year,” Leroux told BBC Sport. “The salary that he would be getting would just be historic and out of this world.

“It would be about 59m euros a month, almost 2m euros a day.”

The offer comes after PSG decided to put him up for sale this summer after becoming convinced that he had agreed to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer.
Every single big European club will be keeping an eye on the situation with Mbappe in case they can somehow pull off a move for the Frenchman – but the most likely destination still seems to be Real Madrid.And Spanish newspaper Nacional agree with a report claiming that Mbappe has ‘rejected’ a move to Premier League side Arsenal in order to fulfill his ‘dream’ to play for Real Madrid.Arsenal ‘has positioned itself to be able to incorporate’ Mbappe this summer with Mikel Arteta having ‘the money and have the space within the squad’ to buy the 24-year-old.

FSG stance on Kylian Mbappe is telling as unthinkable Liverpool transfer truth becomes clearThe Saudi Pro League is spending huge sums to attract the best talent that could provide a challenge to the Premier LeagueA short while ago the idea of Kylian Mbappe, one of world football’s most coveted players, plying his trade in Saudi Arabian football’s top tier at 24, entering his prime years, would have been unthinkable.

But such is the pace at which the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund’s plans to grow the Saudi Pro League has reached, the idea of Mbappe trading Paris Saint-Germain and European football for the Middle East and Al-Hilal now doesn’t seem as far fetched as it did a few months ago.

Mbappe, who has long been linked with Liverpool interest that was never going to materialise, is stuck in a strange position. He wants out, and a move to Real Madrid has been long mooted, and his team want him gone too. But they don’t want to lose him for free to Madrid next summer, which it is reported they believe they will, they want to recoup some of the enormous sums of money, hundreds of millions of pounds, that have been spent on keeping the French international in Paris in recent years.

Whether or not it is a PR stunt, Al-Hilal have the financial means to pay for Mbappe, that is something that comes with not having to be concerned about UEFA’s financial sustainability regulations or domestic equivalent, and being back by one of the richest sovereign wealth funds in the world. If the suggested £350m that Al-Hilal would be willing to pay for Mbappe would bring him to Saudi for just one year, as has it has been reported, then they would see that as a cost of doing business, the upside being that the arrival of Mbappe would bring serious legitimacy to the SPL project. For PSG it would solve a serious financial headache.That a player like Mbappe is on the market and nobody in European football, not even the cash rich Premier League sides, are willing to make a move right now is telling. Real Madrid’s only hope is a deal on a free next summer, and for Premier League clubs, even the likes of Liverpool who have serious wriggle room within UEFA and domestic financial fair play frameworks, it would be beyond comprehension, and that’s before the fact that it would never chime with the way that owners Fenway Sports Group run the business side of the club.
