The future of Kylian Mbappé continues to unleash passions. At the end of his contract next June, the French striker will be free to commit wherever he wishes in six months and already has several suitors to welcome him. In an interview with Marca this Saturday, the director of football of the Saudi Pro League, Michael Emenalo reiterated his wish to see the Parisian star join his championship next summer.
“We don’t know what he wants to do”
“With Mbappé, the conversation is open, but we don’t know what he wants to do. 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,” he announced.
And last summer, Saudi Arabia had already made eyes at the Parisian star. While it had been very active in the transfer window by attracting several stars like Karim Benzema, Sadio Mané and N’Golo Kanté into its net, the Gulf country, via the Al-Hilal club, had tried to make the big move Kylian Mbappé, by proposing a staggering offer of 300 million euros to PSG. A proposal refused by the main interested party.
According to information from CBS News, Neymar’s club was even ready to offer a salary of 700 million euros for a single season to the 2018 world champion. Asked about this, the Saudi football director did not deny: “I can’t say how far the conversation went, but there was interest expressed that if he was willing to come, there was a club willing to make space for him. » It remains to be seen whether this destination will thrill Kylian Mbappé, he who is still followed by Real Madrid and has still not started discussing a contract extension with PSG.
