Al Hilal make world record bid for Mbappe

[Brin]

An absolute staggering bid of £259 million pounds!

Stratospheric numbers shows the game is totally out of control. Players prices are totally ruining the game and only the super mega rich clubs like Al Hilal can afford anything like.

No wonder Jordan Henderson us fancying going there. They will be treated like gods.

That would dig a lot of water wells in Africa.

It’s turning into a circus!

I'm guessing the Premier League and some of the major European leagues will be getting a bit concerned now because they can't match the riches that are on offer in Saudi and it's not just players who are coming to the latter stages of their careers who are being targeted.

Give it a couple of years and it will fizzle out .

With Chelsea Fc joining Liverpool Fc looking at bringing Mbappe to the premier league.

It turns out Mbappe has until midnight today, to trigger his option to extend his Paris
Saint-Germain contract by 1 year, to 2025.
If he extends his contract, he will be due 60m euros loyalty bonus, payable in instalments,
if he is still at the club Tuesday.
PSG are 99.99% certain he won't trigger the option.
