SPL chief Emenalo reveals talks with PSG superstar Mbappe

Saudi Pro League recruitment chief Michael Emenalo admits they're talking to PSG star Kylian Mbappe.

The France international rejected a €200m-a-year offer from Al-Ittihad over the summer. With Real Madrid keen, Mbappe's deal expires in June.

Emenalo told Marca: "The conversation with him is open, but we don't know what he wants to do.

"Our position is very clear: any player of this type knows where we are.

"If there is any possibility or interest that Mbappé is part of what we are building, now or in the future, we cannot refuse this possibility. He's a player I love.

"I can't say how deep the conversation was. But there was interest in knowing if the player was ready to come, was there a club ready to welcome him and make room for him in their squad."
