Kylian Mbappe does NOT want to join Al Hilal, 'would rather spend all of next season on PSG's bench'

Kylian Mbappe does NOT want to play in Saudi Arabia amid Al Hilal's enormous offer for the Paris Saint-Germain superstar.

The Saudi Pro League outfit have tabled a monstrous bid for Mbappe, which has been accepted by the French giants.

He could earn a potential €700 million in one year before completing his dream move to Real Madrid next summer.

PSG want to sell their prized asset now rather than him leave for free next summer, with the player having just a year left on his current contract.

But they could have a major task on their hands in persuading him to sign for the Saudi Arabian club.

According to Relevo, Mbappe does not want to join Al Hilal and would rather spend all of next season on the bench at PSG.

A source close to the player told Relevo: "These things do nothing more than reinforce the determination of the player, who has a one-year contract that cannot be ignored.

"If he has to stay on the bench, he will stay, we'll see for how long because the Champions League comes soon... if they win, then all good, but how do you have a player like that in the stands if things don't go well."

An earlier report suggested Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Barcelona and Inter Milan were also interested in signing Mbappe.

A move to Barcelona and Inter Milan appears unlikely due to the sheer amount of funds involved in the transfer, with the World Cup winner believed to be ruling out a switch to Spurs.

But Man United, who will have the financial capabilities if they are acquired by Sheikh Jassim, could be able to sign him, with Relevo adding: "There are some clubs more capable of reaching an agreement with them, especially in Manchester, and those doors cannot be closed completely. That of a sheik wasting millions to take it to a minor league, yes."
