Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal saw a world-record bid for the forward. However, the Frenchman had no interest in the move and swiftly turned down the proposal.
And despite Paris Saint-Germain making it clear that he will be frozen out if he chooses to remain, Mbappe has made it clear under no uncertain terms that he will not depart this summer under any circumstances whatsoever.
PSG have already started planning for life without their star man and want to set a precedent that no player is bigger than the club – regardless of who they are.

When he penned a new deal in the French capital last summer, he was reportedly led to believe that both Robert Lewandowski and Bernardo Silva would be joining the club.
Of course, neither made the switch to the Ligue 1 champions, with Lewandowski still at Barcelona, and Silva still at Manchester City.
Regardless, Mbappe will have to get used to life away from first team football at club level until the situation is rectified, as he will reportedly have no involvement in both training and matches under Luis Enrique until the end of his contract with the club.
