Those in Saudi Arabia are, however, refusing to give up hope of one day seeing Mbappe grace the Pro League. 

Prince Abdullah Saad Abdulaziz Al Saud, a member of the Saudi royal family, has told CARRE on YouTube.

“Of course we like him. Kylian Mbappe is a good player, he is strong and I hope to see him play in Saudi Arabia, in any team in our championship. 

Saudi Arabia is now the monster of the market. We have Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema. We have a strong championship and we will surprise again. 

More stars will come. Saudi Arabia plans to become the number one nation in football. Soon.”
