Kylian Mbappe could be on the brink of securing a move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal, becoming the highest paid player in the history of professional football. Reports have given an insight into the numbers involved in the offer, and they are truly mind-boggling. The French international, who is still only 24, is already on a huge contract at PSG and earns around £2 million a week. However, that is a paltry amount compared to what he could be earning at Al-Hilal, which is majority owned by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Mbappe has decided not to sign a new one-year extension at the French giants, and given that the side don’t want to let him go for nothing when his contract expires they’ve reportedly accepted Al Hilal’s £259m offer. The World Cup winner is said to be keen on a move to Real Madrid in 2024, but he could be tempted to take the one-year offer from the Saudi side before moving to Spain further down the line. According to reports from CBS, the offer from Al Hilal is a staggering £604 million per year, which breaks down to £11.62 million per week – an increase of around six times his current PSG contract. Those numbers are astounding, but almost too large to appreciate. It’s only when you drill down into the figures that the true size of the offer becomes really clear. The offer breaks down to £1.65m per day, £68,950 per hour and £19.15 per second, and we can barely get our heads around the scale of it all. An hour’s work for him would be more than twice what most people earn in an entire year in the UK. In fact, If he dropped a 20 pound note on the floor, he would have earned it back about five times over by the time he stopped to pick it up. Some have questioned his motivation, should the deal go through. Mbappe would be giving up Champions League football and effectively sacrificing the chance of winning the Ballon D’or for the year – some would even argue he’s essentially taking a year-long retirement due to the standard of the league compared to what he’s used to – but there’s no doubt that the numbers are enormous.

A British child is among the victims injured following a knife attack at a lakeside park in the French Alps, foreign secretary James Cleverly has said. He told an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) press conference: “Our thoughts are with the victims and the families and we stand ready to support the French authorities in whichever way we can. Annecy prosecutor Line Bonnet-Mathis confirmed that four children, aged between 22 months and three years, and two adults were injured. A criminal investigation has been launched and the suspected attacker was arrested and is being held in the Annecy police station, she added. Meanwhile, a woman who witnessed it said that the attacker had jumped over a park fence and stabbed a small girl and a baby in a pram. “When I heard the mother’s scream, I started to run”, the woman told France Bleu radio. The suspected attacker - a 31-year-old man who had refugee status in Sweden - is said to be a Syrian national, police sources told local media. It is believed he was not known to security agencies.

Elon Musk, the owner of X – the company formerly known as Twitter – said on Saturday that the social media platform “may fail” as a new glitch wiped out most pictures tweeted before December 2014. “The sad truth is that there are no great ‘social networks’ right now. We may fail, as so many have predicted, but we will try our best to make there be at least one,” Mr Musk posted on X. Since his take-over of the company for $44bn, the multibillionaire has tried to shake things up, introducing radical new changes to the platform, from laying off over three-fourths of Twitter’s workforce to his latest statement that the platform’s feature to block other user profiles would be removed. The platform, being rebranded as X, has also suffered blackouts and glitches in recent times with the latest one appearing to affect tweets with pictures and links published prior to December 2014. X appeared to have problems displaying old posts that came with attached images or hyperlinks converted using Twitter’s built-in web link shortener. Among the images initially lost was the famous “most retweeted” selfie from the 2014 Oscars by the event’s host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres. This image has since been restored, but most old tweets before December 2014 have broken short links instead of the actual media or links. “More vandalism from Elon Musk. Twitter has now removed all media posted before 2014. That’s - so far - almost a decade of pictures and videos from the early 2000s removed from the service,” Brazilian YouTuber Tom Coates posted on Twitter. The glitch comes after Mr Musk’s X intentionally slowed down access to the sites of rival social media platforms such as Threads, Facebook, and Instagram, as well as those of news organisations like New York Times last week. X seemed to add a delay of about five seconds when people clicked on links to go elsewhere on the web. There are speculations that the latest glitch preventing access to old images could be due to X trying to recover more server space, but this might also not be an intentional move carried out for cost-cutting purposes. Some people also appear to be able to view their old images back again, but it remains unclear why the glitch occurred in the first place.
