Los Blancos president turned down the offer immediately.

After losing out on teammate Vinicius Junior, an unidentified Saudi Arabian club have stated that it is willing to pay €350 million ($407.7 million) for Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappé, according to Defensa Central. Florentino Pérez, the president of Real Madrid, has vehemently said no to the offer and has maintained that the Frenchman is not for sale.

This enormous sum would even eclipse the €300 million that was previously tried for Vinicius Jr., a number that already caused controversy in the football community due to its extreme opulence.

Saudi Arabia’s continuous efforts to acquire well-known players who can improve the league’s reputation internationally are the driving force behind this outrageous offer.

They see Kylian Mbappe’s acquisition as a step toward establishing their domestic league as a top draw for the best football players.

Madrid don’t want to entertain any offer for Mbappe

According to the club, Kylian Mbappe is completely untransferable. The Frenchman is viewed by Los Blancos as their greatest marketing and media asset in addition to being their most effective weapon on the field.

The club’s long-term sporting goals and worldwide reputation would suffer a terrible hit from his sale, regardless of the amount of the offer.

The club are not the only entity opposing this transfer. Mbappe himself hasn’t expressed any desire to leave the Santiago Bernabeu.

His main goal is to leave a lasting impression on Europe’s elite. The forward’s long-term goal is to be at his best for the FIFA World Cup the following year, which he feels a transfer to the Saudi league would jeopardise.

Kylian Mbappe, who is only 26, has his finest days ahead of him, and the timing of this approach could not be worse as Real Madrid are assembling a team that can dominate both domestically and in Europe.
