Mbappé to Barcelona? This is known about the future of the ‘Turtle’

The market is open. Paris SG has already received interest from several clubs, such as Real Madrid, for its striker kylian mbappeamong which stands out a firm offer from the Saudi club Al-Hilal, for an amount of 300 million euros (about 333 million dollars).

Since last Friday the French club decided that Mbappé would not travel to the team’s tour of Asia, paving the way for a transfer of its star, after the player announced that he will not renew his contract that expires in June 2024, proposals are beginning to reach the table of president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, according to a source close to the negotiations.

Beyond the interest, there is already even a formal offer: the French champion has received a letter from Al-Hilal with a firm proposal that he has accepted, according to the same source, and the request for authorization to negotiate a contract with Mbappé.

However, it is highly unlikely that the 24-year-old Mbappé will end up playing for the four-time Asian champion, as the striker has never expressed a desire to play in the Saudi championship.

Already world champion with France in 2018 and finalist in 2022, Mbappé has never denied that his great dream as a club player is to win the European Champions League.

Since last Friday some clubs have already been interested in Mbappé, such as Real Madrid.

The ‘Bleus’ star has always shown his sympathy for the Spanish club, which would have presented an offer to PSG, according to the same source.

This would mean a change in the policy of the white club, which until now had been waiting and watching the pulse between the player and the French club.

Real Madrid also seemed in no hurry to sign a player who would be released in a year, even if that meant paying the footballer a colossal bonus for arriving as a free agent.

And so far Mbappé has shown himself willing to fulfill the year that remains on his contract and then decide, giving rise to an ultimatum by PSG: either renew or leave this summer (boreal).

“You can’t let one of the best players in the world go for free,” Al Khelaifi himself warned a few days ago.

And while Mbappé trains in Paris with the youngsters. On Sunday she left the training center with a big smile, as if nothing had happened.

Without forgetting the Saudi route and in addition to Real Madrid, other European clubs are positioning themselves: Manchester United, Tottenham, Inter and Barcelona.

“Several clubs show creativity and propose formulas that include top players in addition to an economic amount for the transfer. That opens up the marking to more clubs”, says the same source, without specifying which players are being offered as currency to make Mbappé’s transfer cheaper.

Al-Hilal’s offer is purely financial.

The player’s entourage has not yet reacted to the offer from Saudi football and until now it has always referred to the year that Mbappé has left on his contract and that he plans to fulfill it.

Despite his absence in Japan, Mbappé is very present in the Parisian expedition, which this Monday trained in Osaka under the command of Luis Enrique, in front of some 3,000 fans.

The club informed the press in Japan that the Spanish coach will not offer press conferences after the friendly matches that PSG plans to play in Asia.

The first of these, on Tuesday, will be against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr, the first European soccer star who succumbed to Saudi siren songs.
