PARIS — Kylian Mbappé has reportedly refused to meet with representatives of Saudi Arabian soccer team Al-Hilal which has made a world record bid for the France striker. French sports daily L'Equipe reported that the Paris Saint-Germain player wouldn't meet with Al-Hilal officials, who are in the French capital this week. Al-Hilal made a record 300 million euro ($332 million) bid for Mbappe on Monday. PSG wants to cash in on the World Cup star now rather than let him walk for free a year from now when his contract expires. Mbappé is in a standoff with PSG after his decision not to take up the option of a 12-month extension. He is widely expected to join Real Madrid next season.
