Al Hilal make record £259m bid for PSG's Mbappé

Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal have permission to speak to Kylian Mbappe after making a world record £259 million (300-million-euro) bid for the Paris St-Germain (PSG) forward, according to BBC sport.
The 24-year-old France captain, who has a year left on his contract, has refused to sign an extension at the French champions and was not selected for their pre-season tour to Japan.
PSG want to sell Mbappe now rather than see him leave for free next summer.
PSG activated Brazil forward Neymar's release clause to make him the most expensive player in the world.
Should he move, Mbappe will have commanded two of the three highest fees paid for a player after joining PSG from Monaco for £166 million in 2017.
Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, Inter Milan and Barcelona have all expressed an interest in Mbappe, who has previously said he intends to leave PSG for free at the end of next season.
The feeling at PSG is that he has already agreed to join La Liga giants Real Madrid on the expiration of his contract.
However, chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi has made clear his determination to take a tough stance, saying it is "impossible" that Mbappe be allowed to leave on a free transfer in 2024.
There have been suggestions Mbappe will not be selected for an entire year if he refuses to break the present impasse, which would clearly have a negative impact on his hopes of playing for France at Euro 2024.
Al-Hilal are one of the clubs owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. They have already signed Ruben Neves from Wolves and Kalidou Koulibaly from Chelsea this summer.
The source said Real Madrid were among a group of clubs which had also expressed an interest in Mbappe.
"In the group so far that have expressed their interest there are Manchester United, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Tottenham and obviously the Saudi club and Real Madrid," the source said.
