Richard Keys labels Kylian Mbappe ‘Mbaby’ and a ‘brat’ for his PSG stance as he claims Harry Kane’s Tottenham future has entered ‘endgame’ amid Bayern chase
- Al-Hilal has made a world record bid of £259 million for Kylian Mbappé
- Mbappé is reportedly determined to complete the final year of his PSG contract
- Spurs star Kane continues with Bayern with 12 months left
Richard Keys slammed Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappé for his insistence on leaving the French champions on a free transfer at the end of his contract.
Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal on Monday launched an extraordinary world record £259 million bid to sign Mbappé.
PSG have given permission for the club to talk to Mbappé, with the Ligue 1 giant planning to sell the striker this summer rather than see him go for free in 12 months.
Mbappé reportedly does not want to move to Saudi Arabia, despite suggestions that he could earn as much as £600 million in just one year.
Keys, the BeIN Sports presenter, has slammed Mbappé for his transfer stance, calling the star ‘Mbaby’ and a ‘brat’.

Mbappé is reportedly determined to leave PSG for free when his contract expires next summer
He compared the situation to Harry Kane’s situation at Tottenham Hotspur, with Keys claiming the England captain’s future has now reached the ‘end game’ as German champions Bayern Munich look to sign the striker.
“It feels like we’re going into the endgame with Kane, United can’t afford him without a takeover which clearly wasn’t as ‘imminent’ as we were told.
“Looks like it’s Bayern. Kane doesn’t want to walk – unlike that snot in Paris.
‘Is Mbaby for real? He lets down good people fans and himself.”
Mbappé’s determination to secure his PSG deal could prove a major challenge for new boss Luis Enrique.
The 24-year-old has already been left out of PSG’s pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea, with his future a major headache for the Ligue 1 side.
It is rumored that the Al-Hilal could include an escape clause in a lucrative contract that would allow Mbappé to sign for Real Madrid next summer.
The French star has long been keen on a move to Real Madrid, with PSG believed he has already agreed to join the Spanish giants on a free transfer in 2024.

Mbappé came close to joining Carlo Ancelotti in 2022 before making a sensational turnaround that saw him extend his stay at PSG.
Kane’s future is equally uncertain as the England captain has one year left on his contract with Tottenham Hotspur.
As reported by Mail Sport, Spurs owner Joe Lewis has told chairman Daniel Levy that Kane must be sold in the current window if he refuses to sign a new contract.
As it stands, there is no indication the striker is open to committing his future to his boyhood side and that has opened the door to a potential £100m move.
Indeed, Levy will come under pressure to allow Kane to quit before the deadline if he refuses to make a deal believed to be worth up to £400,000 a week.
Bayern Munich remain firmly in the running for Kane, with a third bid likely to come from the Bundesliga champions.
