PSG Disputes Over €55 Million Owed to Mbappé Continue
PSG's Stubborn Stance on Mbappé Payment
Despite Kylian Mbappé having played four league matches with his new club Real Madrid, the tension between the player and his former employer, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), remains unresolved. Reports from the French news agency AFP indicate that PSG has received a formal mandate from the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) to transfer the €55 million in back payments owed to Mbappé.
Legal Proceedings and Club's Defense
In order to reclaim the owed funds, the former French international had previously approached the LFP's legal committee. However, PSG continues to deny the payment, asserting that Mbappé had previously agreed to waive this amount in August 2023. The club has stated to AFP that it does not intend to pay the €55 million.
- Mbappé claims the owed funds include unpaid bonuses and his last three months' salary.
- The club insists that Mbappé needs to take legal action if he wants to recover the funds.
Journalist Jean-Paul Rison, an expert on French football, explains that this conflict traces back to 2022. As the situation develops, PSG's refusal to comply with LFP's demands raises questions about the future financial dealings within football clubs.
