#SceneNowSaudi: Al Hilal Saudi FC Submits Record USD 332 Million Bid for Kylian Mbappé
Saudi Arabia’s aims of creating a competitive soccer league are reaching a potentiality of actualisation with the country’s leading soccer club, Al Hilal’s, recent bid for French footballer Kylian Mbappé. Set at a shocking EUR 300 million, or USD 332 million, the bid breaks the previous world record fee of EUR 222 million, or USD 262 million, that brought Neymar to PSG.
The 24-year-old has been left out of Paris Saint Germain’s preseason tour of Japan, awaiting the decision to transfer to Saudi Arabia or renew his PSG contract. Having previously publicly declared a desire to stay in Paris for the 2023/24 season, Mbappé’s reported dissatisfaction staying in France might just push the world-class player to take a different route, with two of his prominent options being Al Hilal and Spanish giants Real Madrid.
While PSG may seem willing to sell Mbappé, the club has explicitly expressed they will not be allowing the player to leave for free, costing Al Hilal an additional EUR 700 million, or USD 775 million, for the move. Ultimately, the player has the choice of which club he plays for.

#SceneNowSaudi: Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema Joins Saudi Arabia's Al-Ittihad
After reigning victorious in all aspects of European football, French footballer and Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has reached an agreement to join Saudi football club Al-Ittihad as part of a two-year deal.
Benzema is set to join this year’s Saudi Pro League champions, Al-Ittihad, following a stellar career at Real Madrid. While his start at the Spanish football royalty club was rocky, having to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the best the game has ever seen, Benzema has since proved himself as one of the most celebrated strikers out there.
During his time in Spain, Benzema won five Champions Leagues, five Club World Cups and four Spanish League titles - just to name a few of his 25 major titles. In 2022, Benzema also won the Ballon d’Or for the first time in his career.
While his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, who made a blockbuster move to Al-Nassr last season, could soon become his opponent on the field, Benzema’s teammates will include Egyptian footballers Ahmed Hegazi (who serves as Al-Ittihad club captain) and Tarek Hamed.
Benzema is the latest, but surely not the last, football superstar to join the league as part of Saudi Arabia’s ambitions to elevate its football scene, one which Ronaldo has claimed “will soon become one of the top five leagues in the world.”

Saudi singer, songwriter and rapper, Molham is coming to Cairo for the first time this Friday, May 12th at El Sawy Culturewheel as part of his Khayali Tour 2023.

With lyrics honing on love, mental illness, and social issues through a funky linguistic mix, Molham drew in a huge fanbase.
