Everyone in the soccer world, and perhaps the sports world at large, is talking about the same thing. The sports world was caught aback when Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal offered French soccer sensation Kylian Mbappe a staggering contract worth $776 million. An immediate agreement for $136,000,000 was offered to Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo by Al Nassr earlier this year, causing him to abandon the English league. This flurry of deals has confused even sports giants like Usain Bolt, who has a passing interest in soccer.

Usain Bolt has put out a mysterious tweet on the current happenings that has his followers scratching their heads.

The deal that even stunned Usain Bolt

One of the greatest stories of 2023 will be the departure of soccer superstars to far-flung regions like the Middle East. Usain Bolt’s loss of $12,700,000 to a Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL) insider fraud early this year made headlines throughout the sports world too. After such a devastating loss to one of their country’s most revered sportsmen, the Jamaican government was the subject of intense scrutiny in the international sports community.

Since the event, Bolt has been very present throughout his many social media platforms, often informing his followers. The legendary athlete in track and field also has a passion for soccer, a sport in which he has previously competed for a few different teams. Bolt said on Twitter, “I’m ready to unretire for this one year salary $776M.” The track great understands how vital the French soccer player is for his present side, PSG, and even the French people out there who want the star to remain and play in his own country, so his statement about his retirement must have been sarcastic.

All the talk about whether the French soccer star will stay at PSG or go to Al Hilal is just that—talk—until the player makes an official announcement, which everyone in the sports world is eagerly awaiting.

When did all of these rumors start surfacing?

Since his stunning performance at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Kylian Mbappe has been the buzz of the soccer world. The French national team’s great soccer player kept his opponents on their toes by scoring multiple times in the big game. All of these factors combined to make Mbappe an even more desirable option for any of the teams in the league. After contract extension talks broke down between PSG and the French star, several teams, notably Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia, expressed interest in signing Mbappe.

Supported by the Public Investment Fund Al Hilal wants Mbappe to be their most publicized acquisition to date. Before Lionel Messi signed with Inter Miami, the Saudi Arabian team was interested in the all-time great. This summer, Saudi Pro League teams are spending big money to bring in top players from other leagues, and soccer fans across the globe can’t get enough of the intrigue going on off the field.
