Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Kylian Mbappe has reacted with laughing emoji to what Giannis Antetokounmpo said on Twitter: “Al Hilal you can take me. I look like Kylian Mbappe”.
Kylian Mbappe has broken his silence after Al-Hilal submitted a world record £259million offer to PSG, following a tweet from NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal launched their extraordinary bid on Monday as PSG seek to sell Mbappe, after he refused to sign a new deal with one year left on his contract.
In what is obviously a joke, Giannis has made a plea to Saudi Arabian football club Al Hilal. In light of the club’s groundbreaking offer to French star Kylian Mbappe, Antetokounmpo has suggested he looks just like him. Especially now that there is a $776,000,000 contract on the table.
The club, based in Riyadh is ready to pay him this mouthwatering sum for just one season. That too, on top of the $332,000,000, they would pay PSG to acquire his services. An incredible deal, to say the least, one that could change the way business is conducted in the sports industry. So, unsurprisingly, the 2021 NBA Champion wants a piece of the action.
The Madrid based outlet claims Mbappe is determined to see out the final year of his contract with the reigning French champions, who are determined not to lose the forward on a free.
PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi recently insisted it would be ‘impossible’ for Mbappe to leave for free.
Mbappe is reportedly ‘willing to sit on the bench all season’ amid a continued stand-off with the club, with the forward having already been left off the club’s pre-season tour.
Al-Hilal’s offer would eclipse Neymar’s £198m move from Barcelona to PSG as the most expensive transfer in football history.
The offer on the table would reportedly see Mbappe earning a staggering £600m in just one year.
It is claimed that the Saudi Pro League side could put a release clause in a lucrative contract which could allow Mbappe to sign for Real Madrid next summer.
The French star has long been keen on a move to Real, with PSG believing he has already agreed to join the Spanish giants for free in 2024. Mbappe looks set to join Messi in spurning their interest, but at least five clubs have reportedly reached out to PSG over the weekend, according to Sky Sports.
Three of those clubs are Premier League teams, with Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham all keen on Mbappe.
United are looking to bring in a striker this summer after Cristiano Ronaldo left midway through last season.
They have been linked with Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund, as they look to add to their front line after signing midfielder Mason Mount and goalkeeper Andre Onana.
Meanwhile, Chelsea only managed to score 38 goals last term, finishing down in 12th place. They have brought in Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson since then, but it appears a move for Mbappe appeals to their big-spending owner Todd Boehly.
Spurs could lose Harry Kane this summer, with Bayern Munich refusing to give up in their pursuit of the England captain, and the north London club may view Mbappe as the ideal replacement.
Of course, the Greek Freak is just joking around. But, it’s a joke that may have a hint of envy in it. After all, they’re both in the business of sports. And, with money like that being thrown around, even an NBA superstar with a massive contract of his own would look upon such a deal with yearning.
Giannis Antetokounmpo hilariously pitches his availability to Al Hilal in light of the club’s $776,000,000 offer to Kylian Mbappe
Giannis Antetokounmpo may be on the verge of breaking the internet yet again. Known for his hilarious posts on social media, the Greek Freak has had plenty of his tweets, Instagram posts, and more go viral. And, his most recent post will likely do the same, given the content.
