Kylian Mbappe ‘REFUSES to discuss Saudi transfer after PSG accept world-record shattering £259m Al-Hilal offer’

KYLIAN MBAPPE has REFUSED to discuss a move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal, according to reports.
Earlier this week, Paris Saint-Germain accepted a world-record £259MILLION offer from the Middle East outfit as they look to offload the French forward this summer.
The Ligue 1 champions are keen to sell Mbappe as they believe he has a deal in place to join Real Madrid in 2024 when his contract expires.
But while PSG have accepted the bid from Al-Hilal, understand the player is not even entertaining the move.
His representatives have reportedly declined meetings with the Saudi side as Mbappe has "never considered" them to be an option.
And this stance seems to point towards him staying in Paris until next summer.
That is despite Al-Hilal offering him a remarkable £11.6M-A-WEEK in wages.
The £259m fee would also break the transfer record previously held by Neymar when he moved from Barcelona to PSG for £198m in 2017.
A host of stars have already moved to Saudi Arabia this summer - including Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante, Edouard Mendy, Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez, Kalidou Koulibaly and Jordan Henderson.
Cristiano Ronaldo signed for Al-Nassr back in December.

They add that Barca will try to entice PSG by offering several players in exchange.
