Apparently PSG is begging Mbappe to negotiate with Al-Halil. They want the $300M being offered to them for his services this year.
It is a perfect scenario for Mbappe and all teams involved.
- Mbappe signs with Al-Halil for 1 year. He'll get a massive signing bonus and a massive 1 year contract. After 1 year, he'll be free to go to Real Madrid for another massive signing bonus and long-term contract.
- PSG is thrilled because Al-Halil will pay them $300M to allow Mbappe to play for them. Saudi's are likely to pay up that amount for the prestige of having Mbappe for one year.
- Real Madrid loves this plan because they end up with Mbappe in 1 year and don't have to pay any transfer fees to PSG or Al-Halil.
To me the only team that is getting screwed is Al-Halil since they are going to pay $300M to PSG to get Mbappe this year, $160M (?) signing bonus to Mbappe, + 1year contract costs for Mbappe. But if they are willing to do it to have him for 1 year, so be it.
