Kylian Mbappe is dominating the global headlines with an incredible Saudi offer. Even Lionel Messi?s star-studded Inter Miami debut couldn’t beat the hype. The massive moolah even created a meme-fest with many NBA A-listers drooling over the petro-dollars. But as Mbappe chose legacy club over the fortune, he received a pat on his back by a $215 million rich NBA star.

Paris Saint-German was offered a whopping $1.1 billion amount for the French striker by Al-Hilal. This included a $332 million transfer amount and a $776 million salary offer for Mbappe.

Young went to Twitter to show appreciation for Mbappe?s decision, ?You know everybody like ?Mbapp? a better man than me?.?
