Overview
- At a direct hearing before the Paris Prud’hommes, Kylian Mbappé pressed for €55 million in unpaid wages and bonuses and asked to reclassify his successive fixed-term deals with PSG as an open-ended contract.
- Filings reported by French media put Mbappé’s overall damages claim at €240 million, with some outlets detailing itemized demands that total €260 million, including alleged harassment and concealed work.
- PSG counterclaimed for about €180 million, arguing the player reneged on assurances he would not leave for free and pointing to a rejected €300 million offer from Al-Hilal in 2023.
- The labor court rejected a PSG request to cede the case to the Paris judicial tribunal, allowing arguments on the merits to proceed.
- A decision is not expected for several months, and the case follows an April seizure of €55 million from PSG’s accounts that was annulled by the courts on May 26.
