Overview

  • Mbappé claims Paris Saint-Germain owes him €55 million in unpaid wages and bonuses, stemming from his contract before moving to Real Madrid in June 2024.
  • The dispute centers on an August 2023 agreement in which Mbappé reportedly waived the payment if he left PSG as a free agent, a condition his representatives now contest.
  • A hearing before the French league's disciplinary committee is scheduled for December 11, though PSG argues the matter may ultimately require resolution in an industrial tribunal.
  • PSG has refused to comply with multiple rulings from the French league and football federation ordering the payment, citing what they view as Mbappé's prior commitments to forgo the money.
  • Potential penalties for PSG, if found at fault, could include fines or restrictions on signing new players, though the club remains confident in its legal position.
