- €700 million salary per season.
- €1.9 million a day
- €79,900 an hour
- €1,332 a minute
- €22 per second.
An observer, after considering the “astronomical” deal noted:
“That is an astronomical transfer fee for Kylian Mbappe! It’s clear that Al Hilal is willing to go to great lengths to secure the services of the young French forward.
“Mbappe has been one of the most sought-after players in the world, and it’s not surprising to see such a huge offer being made for him.
“This move raises several questions about Mbappe’s future and his desire to leave PSG.
“If the reports are true and PSG has accepted the offer, it suggests that the player might be looking for a fresh challenge and is ready to move on from Paris.
“On the other hand, PSG may see this as a great opportunity to make a massive profit on a player who could potentially leave on a free transfer next summer when his contract expires.
“£259m is an astronomical sum, and it could provide PSG with the funds to strengthen their squad significantly.
“However, it’s worth noting that the final decision ultimately lies with Mbappe himself.
“He will need to agree to personal terms with Al Hilal and decide if a move to Saudi Arabia is something that interests him.
“Mbappe has previously stated that he wants to win titles and play in competitive leagues, so it remains to be seen if Al Hilal can offer him the same level of competition he desires.
“Overall, if this transfer were to go through, it would undoubtedly be one of the biggest in football history.
“It would also signal a major shift in power and ambition within the game, with Al Hilal flexing their financial muscle to attract a global superstar like Mbappe.” Read more.
