Kylian Mbappé Demands €55M from PSG Amid Ongoing Dispute

The saga between Kylian Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is far from over. Although the talented forward departed the French capital club this summer, a new dispute has emerged, further straining the relationship between the two parties. Mbappé is now seeking €55 million from his former employer for unpaid wages and ethics bonuses. The legal commission of the French Football League (LFP) has ruled in favor of the World Cup champion, yet PSG appears unwilling to comply with the demand. This could lead to an appeal to the labor tribunal, potentially resulting in a payout significantly exceeding the initial €55 million claim.

This summer marked a pivotal moment for Kylian Mbappé as he embarked on a new chapter in his career. After spending his entire professional life in France, the forward chose to relocate to Spain, signing with the Real Madrid. Despite his departure from PSG, financial entanglements continue to bind him to the club.

Mbappé claims €55 million from PSG

Following his move to Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé is now on the club’s payroll, yet he is also pursuing compensation from PSG. The forward’s claim for €55 million stems from unpaid wages and ethics bonuses. Initially, the LFP’s legal commission sided with the World Cup winner, but PSG is resisting the payment. According to reports, Mbappé may resort to the labor tribunal in order to secure the funds he believes are owed to him.

PSG may owe more than €55 million to Mbappé

If the conflict escalates to the labor tribunal, Kylian Mbappé could end up receiving more than the €55 million he is currently seeking. Interest on late payments begins accruing once legal proceedings commence, with rates reaching up to 8%. For instance, if the forward wins his case against PSG after a year, the club would be liable for the original €55 million plus an additional €4.4 million in interest. Thus, it is in Madrid’s best interest to expedite the process.
