Giannis Antetokounmpo hilariously jokes about wanting to play for Al Hilal due to resemblance with Kylian Mbappe
Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo has appealed to Saudi Arabian football squad Al-Hilal to take him instead of football stud Kylian Mbappe saying he and the latter already look alike anyway. The “Greek Freak” was just kidding, of course, but the figure that the Saudi Arabian side has tendered for the services of Mbappe is no joke.
Astronomic numbers
Al-Hilal is eager to recruit the Paris Saint-Germain star, putting up a $332 million bid for his services. And according to a report by James Benge of CBS Sports, the club is ready to tender a deal playing Mbappe $776 for a one-year contract. This figure set the sports world on fire with Giannis playfully tweeting:
"Al Hilal you can take me. I look like Kylian Mbappe 😂😂👀," Giannis wrote.
Al-Hilal got wind of Giannis’ tweet and responded the Greek hoops star is welcome to become a fan of the club.
LeBron chimes in
Giannis was not the only basketball icon to give their two cents on the mega offer put up by Al-Hilal. “The King” also tweeted a meme of Forrest Gump running with the caption, “Me headed to Saudi when they call @RichPaul4 & @mavcarter for that 1 year deal! ✌🏾🤷🏾♂️😁”
Mbappe, though, appears uninterested in playing for Al-Hilal despite the massive salary and is eager to make a move to another powerhouse—Real Madrid.
