Former France international Marcel Desailly has advised Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe to reject a move to Real Madrid in favour of a big-money move to Saudi Arabia.

Desailly argues that Mbappe will not receive the top priority treatment at Madrid due to the abundance of talented players in the club.

He asserted that it would be in Mbappe's best interest to sign the reported €350 million deal proposal from Saudi Arabia.

"I’m not sure if Real Madrid is the perfect place for him to be. There is Vinicius Jr. on the left-hand side, players who are showing great ability like Jude Bellingham [too]. He [Mbappé] will not be the full No.1 the way that he wants [to be]. Technically, if you’re thinking about the business of football, I would go to Saudi for €350m for a year, come back next season, the year of the World Cup,” Desailly to beIn Sport.

Mbappe was linked with a move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal last summer. Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that Hilal made a formal bid of €300 million to PSG, which was rejected.

The reports suggest that the move, which is a free transfer, will be made official in the summer.
