“LeBron Will Become Saudi Arabian King” – Days After Rumored $1 Billion Offer for Kylian Mbappe, Ridiculous Deal Puts Joe Rogan in an Unusual Fix

French soccer phenomenon Kylian Mbappe is, perhaps, currently the best player in the world. As such, many clubs are looking to secure his services. Meanwhile, Joe Rogan was stunned when he learned how much a Saudi Arabian club was willing to pay the Paris Saint-Germain star to get him to sign for their team.

Kylian Mbappe had an amazing showing at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. His side lost the final to Lionel Messi‘s Argentina in the penalty shoot-out. However, he proved his mettle by scoring a hat trick and making it clear that he’s the best player of the current generation. Recently, the Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal approached to sign him for a world-record transfer fee. UFC commentator, Joe Rogan could not believe how much money they were willing to spend on Mbappe.

Joe Rogan stunned by Kylian Mbappe’s contract offer

During the #2012 episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, Concordia University professor Gad Saad joined Joe Rogan. They were talking about soccer when Kylian Mbappe was brought up in the conversation while talking about Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami debut goal. Moreover, when one of the JRE studio staff told Rogan that Mbappe got a billion-dollar offer from Al-Hilal, Joe Rogan was lost for words. He said, “What? A billion [dollars] for a year?”

Furthermore, he mentioned that if NBA legend LeBron James went to play in Saudi Arabia, he’d become the biggest basketball player in the world. Rogan further said, “They have so much money. LeBron will become Saudi Arabian king. He’ll be the king of basketball over there.”

He could not seem to grasp the fact that they were ready to spend so much money on just one player. “That is so crazy,” said the 55-year-old. However, one can only imagine how Rogan would have reacted if he learned that the French soccer star did not accept the money.

Why didn’t Mbappe accept the offer?

Kylian Mbappe’s current club, Paris Saint-Germain, recently gave permission to Al-Hilal to start negotiations with their star player. However, the 24-year-old rejected the offer. The news of the refusal to sign for the Saudi outfit was first reported by the French media outlet, ‘L’Equipe’, and later confirmed by ESPN.

The fourth-youngest World Cup winner rejected the billion-dollar contract ($776 million in wages) offer because he had other plans. It left many people confused, including the social media sensation Hasbulla. But Mbappe wants to continue playing at the top level in Europe and walk out of PSG as a free agent. Furthermore, there are rumors that he might consider joining Spanish giants, Real Madrid.

There is a lot of money involved in soccer in the current generation. After getting Cristiano Ronaldo, the Saudi Arabian clubs have their eyes set on some of the biggest players from top European clubs. Fans will have to wait and see how much money they’re willing to splash on their next big target.
