Saudi Pro League ‘handed £17BILLION budget with Mbappe, Neymar and Lewandowski targeted in seven-year transfer spree’
KYLIAN MBAPPE is just one of several high profile stars who could join the Saudi Pro League as part of their seven-year plan.
A number of European players have made the switch to Saudi Arabia this summer.
Mbappe is the number one priority with PSG reportedly accepting a £259m bid for the Frenchman from Al-Hilal.
The 18-time Saudi champions have also offered the superstar an eye-watering deal worth £600million a year, which would make him the highest-paid sports star of all time.

And the spending will not stop there with Jacobs reporting Neymar and Luka Modric have also been targeted this summer.
Reports claim Neymar could earn £172m a year if he made the switch, with Al-Hilal rumoured to be plotting a £38m bid for the Brazilian.
Al-Hilal targeted Modric too in a £170m deal and they could make an ambitious move for Robert Lewandowski next year.
Lewandowski revealed he is not thinking of moving to Saudi Arabia this summer - joining the likes of Son Heung-min, Romelu Lukaku and Jamie Vardy in that stance.
