Overview

  • Kylian Mbappé's legal team has temporarily frozen €55 million in PSG's accounts, citing unpaid salaries and bonuses from his final months with the club.
  • The unpaid amounts include salaries for April, May, and June 2024, a portion of a contract extension bonus, and an 'ethical bonus' tied to his final months at PSG.
  • PSG has refused to comply with two prior rulings mandating payment, arguing that a verbal agreement exempts the club from these obligations, a claim Mbappé disputes.
  • UEFA has been notified, and PSG faces potential exclusion from the Champions League if it fails to resolve the financial dispute with Mbappé.
  • Mbappé's legal team has also filed a defamation and public insult complaint, further escalating the conflict between the player and his former club.
