Kylian Mbappe's future has become the main headline for all sports media this summer. The French star has refused to sign a new contract with PSG, and this has led the French club to put him up for sale, thus awaiting offers for Mbappe's card.
But what will be the next destination for the talented striker?
Saudi club Al-Hilal have shocked the football world by making a stratospheric bid of £259 million for the World Cup winner. According to French media, Mbappe does not want to play in Saudi Arabia, at least at this point in his career. This despite the fact that the player can earn up to 700 million euros in one year, including salary, contracts with sponsors and image rights. The French football expert, Julien Laurens, commented:
"He will not go there (Al Hilal). Money is not important to him. He will win all possible trophies. Right now, at the age of 24, that doesn't include the Saudi league."
But if he doesn't choose Saudi Arabia, where will Mbappe end up? Real Madrid have long been Mbappe's number 1 team, and the Frenchman has recently been rumored to have reached a secret agreement with Madrid over a move next summer. However, the player has considered these reports to be lies. Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, Inter Milan and Barcelona have also expressed interest in Mbappe's card.
Despite the fact that almost none of these clubs can offer Mbappe a contract like the current one with PSG, the Frenchman is aware of this fact, and the clubs are preparing their offers. Barcelona are hoping for a possible exchange of players, starting from the impossibility of making a direct offer for Mbappe's services.
This is the strategy of some other clubs, but Real Madrid remains the favorite team to sign Mbappe. This is because Madrid have the right finances for the operation, the prestige, and Mbappe wants to play for them.
