Kylian Mbappe is in line to become the highest-paid footballer in the world after he received a massive offer from Saudi club Al Hilal.

The French star is facing an uncertain future with Paris Saint-Germain, with reports suggesting the Ligue 1 champions are ready to part ways with him.


According to Sky Sports, PSG have already put Mbappe up for sale, having omitted him from their pre-season tour of Japan.

The development comes at a time the World Cup-winning star has just a year left on his contract at Parc des Princes.

Reports claim Al Hilal have since tabled a world transfer record bid of £259million to land the former Monaco ace.

The Sun adds that the Saudi club have offered Mbappe a staggering £11.6m-a-week that adds up to over £600m a year.

Best paid players in the world
The proposed wage will see Mbappe become the highest-paid footballer of all time, eclipsing the likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar out of the water.

Ronaldo is currently the most-paid footballer in the world, with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner reportedly pocketing an eyewatering £173m per year at Al Nassr.

The veteran forward's old teammate Karim Benzema is placed second on the earners' list, banking £172m per year after his sensational move to Al-Ittihad.

Messi is placed sixth on the list after his move to Inter Miami, with ex-Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante earning more than him.
