Mbappe transfer saga so far
The 24-year-old French striker's contract at PSG ends in 2024. He had the option to extend it by a year, but he informed the club in a letter last month that he does not intend to exercise that option.
The French league champion had signed Mbappe from Monaco for €180m in 2017 and he had signed a new two- year contract last year despite links with Real Madrid.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano revealed Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal submitted a world record bid to sign Mbappe worth £300 million (£260m), smashing the previous record fee set by Neymar €222m (£191m) in 2017.
Why Mbappe could accept the Al Hilal's contract?
With a chance to become a highest-paid player in football history, the details of Al Hilal's formal contract reportedly revealed that the Saudi club will allow Mbappe to leave the club for free after one year. This will allow Mbappe to complete his dream move to Real Madrid after 2023-24 season.
