It's time to dive back into the transfer markets. With the possibility of Kylian Mbappe moving to Saudi Arabia, let's take a closer look at where the Saudis stand in their quest to shake up all things football.

A staggering fee of over $300 million has been agreed upon between PSG and Al Hilal, leaving only Mbappe's personal deal to finalize, which is rumoured to be worth an astonishing $1 billion Canadian per year. It's no surprise that Al Hilal, at -125, is the front-runner to secure the signature of the French star, while Real Madrid, where Mbappe desires to play, stands at +415. 

Additionally, Al Hilal is also the second favourite to land PSG teammate Neymar, although the odds of +800 seem unlikely, as their main focus remains on the acquisition of the younger Mbappe. Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku's departure from Chelsea appears to be on the horizon, with Juventus leading the race to secure the striker who spent last season on loan at Inter Milan. However, if you believe Lukaku may surprise everyone and join any Saudi Arabian club, odds of +250 are available.

The potential signing of Mbappe by Al Hilal not only stuns the world with its price tag but could also pave the way for other players to follow suit, creating a potential exodus of talent. Exciting and unpredictable times lie ahead in the transfer season.
