  • Paris prosecutors appointed two investigating judges on June 24 to probe the allegations.
  • Former PSG women’s player Kheira Hamraoui reported a similar isolation in 2023, and in January 2024 the Union of Professional Footballers filed its own complaint alleging clubs exploit seclusion tactics to boost transfer fees.
  • Mbappé is seeking multi-million euro damages in his criminal case and is separately pursuing unpaid bonuses through an economic dispute with PSG.
  • After being hospitalized for acute gastroenteritis in mid-June, Mbappé remains in recovery and is set to miss Real Madrid’s next match against Pachuca.
