Overview
- Kylian Mbappé and PSG faced the Paris Conseil des Prud'hommes on Monday in a hearing held directly before the judgment bureau due to his bid to reclassify fixed-term deals as an open-ended contract.
- PSG’s procedural request to shift the dispute to the tribunal judiciaire was rejected, allowing arguments on the merits to proceed.
- Mbappé seeks €55 million in unpaid wages and bonuses and is pursuing requalification of his contracts, with his overall claim detailed in court filings at roughly €240–263 million including damages.
- PSG mounted a countersuit seeking hundreds of millions, reported between €180 million and €440 million, citing a rejected €300 million Al-Hilal offer and an alleged 2023 understanding the player’s camp disputes.
- The panel scheduled its judgment pronouncement for December 16, in a case closely watched for potential implications on the legality and economics of athlete CDD-to-CDI reclassification in French sport.
