Al Hilal Never Offered $776 Million or Negotiated With Kylian Mbappe, Says Saudi Football Executive

Kylian Mbappe has been the dominant subject of a roller-coaster transfer drama. Many believed that the PSG star’s next destination was Real Madrid. However, this assumption was tarnished when rumors of Mbappe receiving a tremendous offer from Al-Hilal spread like wildfire. Now, the reality behind the offer is finally out.

The thought of Mbappe receiving a whopping offer from Al-Hilal seemed appropriate for the soccer fans, as many top players left for the Middle East in search of greener pastures. Moreover, Mbappe following in the footsteps of soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo made absolute sense to them. However, the Saudi Football Executive has shocked the soccer world by revealing the truth behind Mbappé’s move to Saudi Arabia.

Kylian Mbappe never received an offer from Al-Hilal

Some sources said that Mbappe received a lucrative offer of $776 million from Saudi club Al-Hilal in an attempt to lure him to the country. However, now the truth is finally out as the Saudi Football Executive, Saad Al Lazeez, broke his silence. He declared, “Neither we (recruitment program) nor Al Hilal negotiated with Kylian Mbappé.” The words of Al Lazeez have effectively dispelled all misinformation about the 24-year-old’s upcoming significant decision.

Back then, the rumor was considered ground-breaking, as the amount mentioned was one of the biggest deals in sports. This false information went around in July, and then top players like Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante moved to the Middle East after Ronaldo. Also, Saudi clubs offered outlandish deals to soccer stars and made fans believe the rumor. Interestingly, some prominent NBA stars believed it and shared hilarious reactions through their social media handle.
