The Kylian Mbappe saga continues to make headlines, and now it looks like the PSG star has a new suitor in Saudi Arabia. Al-Hilal‘s reported €300m offer has given a lot to talk about, as even NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo reacted to the rumor with a hilarious tweet.
“Al Hilal you can take me. I look like Kylian Mbappe,” the Milwaukee Bucks power forward wrote on Twitter along with a selfie. The Saudi club is reportedly willing to make Mbappe the highest-paid player ever.
The Frenchman’s future at the Parc des Princes is uncertain, as he has only a year left on his deal and seems to have no intention of signing a new contract. Therefore, his recent tweet in response to Giannis keeps his situation unclear.
