Basketball great LeBron James appears to be dazzled by Saudi Arabian football club Al Hilal’s mind-boggling offer for French footballer Kylian Mbappe. According to media reports, the Saudi Pro League side have come up with a €700 million offer to rope in the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) striker this summer. The staggering offer has stunned the sporting universe and LeBron has now reacted to this development by sharing a hilarious post on Twitter.
The Los Angeles Lakers star sarcastically suggested that he will be running like Forrest Gump if Saudi football teams offered him a similar sort of an alluring one-year deal. “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 end up setting a new transfer record in football. Brazilian superstar Neymar’s move to PSG from Barcelona in 2017 remains to be the most expensive transfer in the history of the game. That can very well change soon, if Mbappe decides to sign for Al Hilal ahead of next season.
