MbappéPSG Case Reaches Paris Labor Court as Star Seeks €55 Million and Contract Reclassification

A ruling will take months, with any reclassification to an open‑ended contract carrying potential precedent for French professional sport.

Overview

  • The hearing opens Monday at 1 p.m. in Paris and proceeds directly to the judgment chamber, skipping conciliation because Mbappé seeks requalification of his fixed‑term deals to an open‑ended contract.
  • Mbappé claims €55 million in unpaid wages and bonuses, while PSG maintains he agreed in summer 2023 to forgo part of those sums, a version the player disputes.
  • A conservatory seizure of €55 million obtained in April 2025 was annulled on May 26, and a separate criminal complaint for moral harassment filed in May was withdrawn in July.
  • Legal analysts note a reclassification could influence club employment practices, with attention heightened by Adrien Rabiot’s June 2025 win requalifying multiple PSG contracts.
  • Mbappé is not expected to attend due to a recent injury, both sides have declined comment ahead of the hearing, and a decision is not expected for several months.
