Saudi Arabian Football Club Al-Hilal has made a record €330 million bid for French Striker Kylian Mbappe, potentially making him the most expensive football player in history. The bid comes after Al-Hilal failed to sign Lionel Messi earlier this year. Mbappe is currently in a contract standoff with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and plans to become a free agent at the end of the upcoming season, with a move to Real Madrid expected. Critics have labeled Saudi Arabia's recruitment drive as "sportswashing," using professional sports to improve the country's image despite ongoing controversial issues.
