Al-Ittihad “completed ranks” two days before the start of “Al-Arabiya”

Yesterday, the pace accelerated in the French capital, Paris, to find a solution for Paris Saint-Germain international striker Mbappe regarding his future with his current club, against the background of his exclusion from the club’s Asian tour last Friday, which will continue until the third of next month.

Amid the war of statements that Mbappe started by describing the Parisian club as “divided”, as well as the management of Nasser Al-Khulaifi, who stressed that the player would not leave for free … “This is understandable and final on our part.” On Monday, Paris St. The Frenchman to get his right from the transfer value instead of leaving for free next season.

And the British news agency (BE Media) reported, on Monday, that the Saudi club Al-Hilal made a world-record bid of 300 million euros ($ 334 million) to include French star Kylian Mbappe, the Paris Saint-Germain striker, who only wants to move to Real Madrid.

And the German news agency quoted its British counterpart that Al-Hilal submitted a written offer to include Mbappe, whose contract expires next summer, and Al-Hilal obtained permission from Saint-Germain to speak with the player.

According to the drawn scenario, the transfer of Mbappe to the Saudi Hilal, if approved, will be for a period of one year, after which he will move to the Spanish club Real Madrid.

Sources close to the French club stated that other clubs have expressed, in recent days, a desire to include the French star, including Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, Inter Milan and Barcelona.

And Al-Sharq Al-Awsat was alone, last Friday, with the news of Al-Hilal negotiating with the French star, and that the Saudi club opened the door to negotiations again after the famous exclusion incident.

It should be noted that the world record in football player deals is still represented by the transfer of Brazilian star Neymar to St. Germain from Barcelona for 222 million euros in 2017.

Speculation has been widely raised about Mbappe’s future, since it was revealed that he would not activate the clause to extend the contract for another year in his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, which could have kept the player with the team until 2025.

Mbappe had expressed his intention to stay in the ranks of Saint-Germain, and therefore the club faces the risk of the player leaving for free next summer in the event that an agreement is not reached on the renewal.

And it was reported that Paris Saint-Germain may be aware that Mbappe agreed to move in a free transfer deal to Real Madrid, Spain, next summer, and sources have stated that the player may benefit from 160 million euros in exchange for a transfer if he joins Real Madrid for free in exchange for Saint-Germain.

There is no doubt that dispensing with the player this summer will enable Paris Saint-Germain to recover some of the money he invested in Mbappe, who joined the French team for 180 million euros from Monaco, and obtained a new lucrative contract last summer to continue with the team, despite Real Madrid’s desire to include him at the time.

Al-Hilal is one of four clubs in the Saudi Professional League, in which the Saudi Public Investment Fund owns a majority stake.

The four clubs have invested heavily in the transfer market this summer, but the potential signing of Kylian Mbappe, considered by many to be the best ever player in the world at the moment, will be the biggest show of the Saudi League.

For its part, the French National Federation of Professional Footballers criticized Paris Saint-Germain, after its striker Kylian Mbappe was excluded from his pre-season tour in Asia, as the confrontation between the striker and the club continued over his contract.

An arm-twisting battle began between the two sides. If the contractual right between the two parties is in favor of Mbappe, who can respect his contract next season and not force him to move, then Saint-Germain used another weapon represented in depriving him of being in the Asian tour that includes Japan and South Korea, where the French capital team is playing preparatory matches for the new season.

The Qatari president of Saint-Germain, Nasser Al-Khulaifi, was clear when he said during his presentation of the new coach of the Spanish team, Luis Enrique, on July 5 (July) that Mbappe, captain of the French national team, must “sign a new contract if he wants to stay” with his team, Paris Saint-Germain.

Al-Khelaifi made it clear that he wanted Mbappe to stay, but “we cannot allow one of the best players in the world to leave freely. This is a clear”.

Last month, the relationship between the two parties soured, when the France striker sent a letter to the club informing him not to renew his contract, which expires at the end of next season, which means his departure for free in June 2024.

If he does not renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, the club will not be able to recoup the 180 million euros ($197 million) they spent on him from Monaco.

The name Mbappe, winner of the French League’s top scorer award in the last 5 seasons, has been linked to the move to Real Madrid.

Mbappe said, in an interview with “France Football” magazine: “I think that playing for Paris Saint-Germain will not help much. It is a divided team.
