MbappéPSG Court Fight Escalates as Both Seek Nine-Figure Payouts

A Paris labour court will rule on December 16 after a hearing where the two sides expanded their claims far beyond an initial €55 million pay dispute.

Overview

  • At the November 17 hearing, Kylian Mbappé increased his claim to roughly €260–264 million, combining unpaid wages and bonuses with damages for alleged contractual breaches and mistreatment.
  • Mbappé’s filing includes about €55 million previously awarded in LFP proceedings that PSG has not paid, plus additional sums tied to paid leave, moral injury and other damages.
  • PSG is seeking heavy compensation from Mbappé over a so-called lost transfer, with reported figures ranging from €180 million to €440 million and arguments referencing a 2023 Al-Hilal bid he declined.
  • The club maintains an oral agreement justified withholding payments and alleges the player misled them about not leaving on a free transfer, claims Mbappé’s side dismisses as unfounded.
  • A written decision is expected on December 16, and a separate criminal investigation linked to Mbappé’s earlier harassment allegations remains open.
