Real Madrid have turned down a staggering €350 mln offer from a Saudi Pro League club for Kylian Mbappé, according to Defensa Central. President Florentino Pérez reportedly dismissed the proposal outright, insisting the French forward is «not for sale» at any price, at least for now, as reported by Goal.

Mbappé, 26, is set to begin a pivotal season under coach Xabi Alonso, who views him as the focal point of the team’s attack. The 2018 World Cup winner remains determined to stay in Europe, chasing Champions League glory and unwilling to join a league still in development despite the prospect of a record-breaking salary.

Saudi clubs are also targeting Vinicius Jr., who has yet to agree a contract extension with Real. While interest from the Gulf continues, the Brazilian is still expected to remain at the Bernabéu.

Kursiv Uzbekistan also reports that Chelsea’s summer transfer window has been largely positive, but the future of striker Nicolas Jackson threatens to dominate headlines right up to deadline day.
