It has been claimed that Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe has no intention of joining Al Hilal amid rumours he has been offered around €700 million (R13.6 billion) in earnings to make the switch.

On Monday, reports suggested that the French giants have given the 24-year-old permission to talk to the Saudi Pro League side over a potential move.
Al Hilal were believed to submit an offer worth €300 million (R5.8 billion) for the striker's services as reports claim the France international is prepared to let his contract in Paris expire in 2024.
The club's hierarchy is looking to avoid allowing him to leave as a free agent next year, and are therefore hoping Mbappe accepts Al Hilal's advances.
According to French journalist Julien Laurens, however, it is unlikely the ex-Monaco wonderkid will go to the Middle East.
"It's not going to happen, he doesn't want to go there," he said on talkSPORT.
"His mind could change, but as of now he doesn't want to go there and they [Al Hilal] haven't spoken to him or his family about the move.
"I admire them [Al Hilal] for trying and for putting such a big offer on the table for him, but he's not going to move to Saudi Arabia, even if it's for just one year."

Mbappe is still believed to favour a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid, but he could be made to wait for his dream move to LALIGA.
