While the future of Kylian Mbappé is still uncertain, the Saudi championship has not abandoned the idea of recruiting the crack player from Paris Saint-Germain.
In a few months, Kylian Mbappé will have to make a decision regarding his future. At the end of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, the Bondynois will have to choose between extending the adventure with the capital club, or flying to a new destination. In the event of a departure, Real Madrid would undoubtedly be the hottest track. But another possibility offers itself to the captain of the France team: Saudi Arabia.
“With Mbappé, the conversation is open, but we don’t know what he wants to do, explains Michael Emenalo, director of the Saudi Pro League, in the columns of Marca. Our position is very clear: all players of this type know where we are. If there is a possibility or interest for Mbappé to be part of what we are building, today or in the future, we cannot reject this possibility. He’s a player that I like. »
A club awaits Mbappé
Saudi Arabia had already tried its luck last summer, when PSG put pressure on their player by threatening to sell him if he refused to extend. Mbappé was the subject of an offer of 200 million euros from Al-Ittihad, but the Frenchman did not follow up. Was Saudi Arabia far from winning the game?
“I can’t say how deep the conversation was, replies Emenalo, in comments relayed by RMC. But the point was that if the player was ready to come, there was a club ready to welcome him and make a place for him in their squad. » And no doubt a very nice check at stake…
