Having been the subject of a world-record transfer bid of €300 million (R5.5 billion) from the Blue Wave, the 24-year-old marksman has refused to enter into talks with the Saudi Pro League outfit, according to L'Equipe.
A delegation from the team in the Middle East are believed to have made the trip to the French capital to finalise details pertaining to their transfer of Brazilian winger Malcom and were hoping to kill two birds with one stone by also opening negotiations with the Bondy native, but he and his representatives have reportedly declined the opportunity to meet with the state-backed side.
It is understood Paris Saint-Germain are eager to sell Mbappe in this off-season to avoid losing him on a free next year.
Consequently, the record Ligue 1 winners had accepted Al Hilal's mammoth bid, and opened the door for the team to begin talks with the France captain.
It seems the 2018 FIFA World Cup is digging his heels in, though, after he admitted that, while he will not be triggering his one-year option to extend his deal in Paris, his intention is to stay at the Parc des Princes for the 2023/24 campaign.
