Paris Saint-Germain is taking their wage dispute with Kylian Mbappé to court after the Ligue de Football Professionnel ruled in Mbappé’s favor. Mbappé is seeking around €55 million in salary and bonuses from the club. PSG claims that Mbappé’s contract was legally amended, and he broke commitments by leaving for Real Madrid. The LFP ruled in favor of Mbappé, stating that the club must pay him the claimed salary, which is not appealable but could be referred to the French Football Federation’s Executive Committee.
PSG plans to bring the case to court while seeking an amicable solution with Mbappé. They argue that the original contract was legally amended in 2023 and recognized by the player until he decided to leave the club. Mbappé, who became the club’s all-time top scorer during his seven years at PSG, has not publicly commented on the matter. The club hopes that Mbappé will honor his commitments, warning that they will resort to legal action if necessary.
Mbappé’s representatives have not provided any comments on the situation. In January, Mbappé had stated that he reached an agreement with PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi to ensure peace for all parties involved. The dispute highlights the complexities of player contracts in professional football and the challenges of resolving wage disputes in the sport. It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold in the coming days as PSG and Mbappé navigate this legal battle.
