Reigning French Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain have accepted a world record €300million (£259m; $332m) bid for Kylian Mbappe from Al Hilal and have given the Saudi Pro League club permission to speak to the attacker.
The latest development comes after Les Parisiens left Mbappe out of their pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea and subsequently put him up for sale in the latest escalation of his contract saga.
Mbappe has long appeared intent on joining Spanish La Liga side Real Madrid, who failed to sign him last summer, but Al Hilal have now lodged an official offer for the player.
The 24 year-old informed PSG last month he would not be exercising the option in his deal signed last summer — but intended to stay for this coming season.
He has the option to extend his stay at PSG by a further year to 2025, but with the clause expiring at the end of the month, the French giants are preparing for the upcoming campaign without their talismanic frontman.
Any deal with Al Hilal would constitute a world-record transfer fee and see Mbappe earn a hugely lucrative salary rumoured to be around €13 million a week and €700m per season.
Al Hilal have already added to their ranks the likes of Ruben Neves from Wolverhampton Wanderers, Kalidou Koulibaly from Chelsea and Sergei Milinkovic-Savic from SS Lazio, in what has been a busy summer of transfer activities.
