LeBron James, a renowned player in the NBA, has jokingly said that he would rush to Saudi Arabia like Forrest Gump for the amount of money being offered to Kylian Mbappe.
It is being reported that France international Mbappe has been presented with a €700 million (£604m/$775m) deal by Middle Eastern outfit Al-Hilal.
That contract would only last 12 months, on the back of a world-record €300m (£259m/$332m) transfer fee being paid out, with the World Cup winner then being cleared to link up with Real Madrid in 2024.
Basketball icon Giannis Antetokounmpo has already tried to get in on that action by saying “Al Hilal you can take me. I look like Kylian Mbappe”.

LA Lakers legend LeBron has now got in on the act by delivering his own response to the eye-watering contract offer.
LeBron has posted on Twitter: “Me headed to Saudi when they call @RichPaul4 & @mavcarter for that 1 year deal!” James accompanied said post with a gif of Forrest Gump sprinting.
