Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia has launched a world-record bid of £259 million to capture French star Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain.
The French champions have placed Mbappe up for sale and excluded him from their pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea, stating that they only want to invite players who are fully committed to the club.
It is thought that Al Hilal's record-breaking bid is not the only one PSG has received, with the conjecture that other teams have approached the Parisians with a variety of proposals for the free-scoring forward, including cash-plus-players.
PSG believes at least five teams, including Tottenham Hotspur, are interested in signing Mbappe.
There is already a "hot market" for the France captain, and PSG expects additional developments this week from interested clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United, Inter Milan, and Barcelona.
PSG would listen to any offer for Mbappe and, if left to their own devices, would simply transfer him to the highest bidder; nevertheless, other teams would struggle to match Al Hilal's offer.
The attacker has one year left on his contract and refuses to sign a new one, claiming he has already decided to join Real Madrid for free next summer.
