Why did Kylian Mbappe reject $1 billion Saudi Arabia contract with Al Hilal? Explaining PSG star's decision
Kylian Mbappe has reportedly received a world record offer to leave Paris Saint-Germain and join Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal.
Mbappe's determination not to sign a contract extension with PSG has placed him at odds with the club over his future and the Ligue 1 champions are now prepared to sell their star asset.
