LeBron James seemed to be dazzled by Saudi Arabian football club Al Hilal’s jaw-dropping offer for French star Kylian Mbappe. As per reports, the Saudi Pro League club has made a €700 million offer for the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) striker this summer. The unbelievable offer has shocked the sporting world and LeBron has now reacted to the news with a funny tweet.
The Los Angeles Lakers star suggested that if Saudi football teams gave him an equally tempting one-year deal, he’d be running like Forrest Gump. “Me headed to Saudi when they call Rich Paul & Maverick Carter for that 1 year deal,” the four-time NBA winner tweeted.

If Mbappe accepts Al-Hilal’s offer, he will create a new football transfer record. The transfer of Brazilian superstar Neymar from Barcelona to PSG in 2017 still ranks as the most costly in the sport’s history. That may soon change if Mbappe chooses to sign with Al Hilal before the start of the upcoming season.
LeBron James loves football. LeBron was photographed last week at Florida’s DRV PNK Stadium, where Lionel Messi made his much-awaited debut for Inter Miami. Messi was also spotted hugging LeBron before the game against Cruz Azul. Posting a pic of him along with Messi in the stands, LeBron penned on Instagram, “Welcome brother!!! Always good to see and be in the presence of greatness!”
