"I’m ready to unretire for this one year salary $776m" - Usain Bolt reacts to Al-Hilal's "insane" offer for Kylian Mbappe

Usain Bolt has joked about coming out of retirement in light of the Kylian Mbappe getting a big money offer from Saudi Arabia.

Jamaican track & field legend Usain Bolt has joked about coming out of retirement in light of the massive financial package Kylian Mbappe is reportedly offered by a Saudi Arabian football club.

Mbappe has once again been the subject of intense transfer speculation, with the Frenchman reportedly informing Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) that he isn't interested in extending his contract, which expires next summer.

With PSG reluctant to lose Mbappe on a free transfer, they are said to be open to selling him right now. On that note, Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal are said to have made him a staggering offer that will see him earn $776 million in salary for one season.

On top of that, Al Hilal have also offered PSG a world record transfer fee of $332 million to sign Mbappe, according to CNN.

The financial details of Mbappe's potential move to the Middle East have led to Bolt joking about coming out of retirement, only if he was offered similar money.

"I’m ready to unretire for this one year salary $776M," he tweeted.

NBA stars LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, and Andre Drummond, among many others, also reacted with humour to the information.
