Real Madrid-Superster Kylian Mbappe arrived into a lot of fanfare in the Spanish capital, on a free from Paris Saint-Germain, and too much annoyance in the French capital. Although PSG claims that they had a verbal agreement that he would not leave the club for free, Mbappe continues to claim his unpaid wages for the months of April, May and June, which amount to a total of € 55 million.
It has been a long -term process, in which the legal team of Mbappe goes through various courts and mediations to get the money from his former team. However, they have now raised the Ante.
“The trial started in February 2024 and since then PSG has not complied with its contractual obligations,” said Delphine Vanderheyden, his lawyer, quoted by Cadena Ser.
“He joined PSG in the summer of 2017, signed a contract that was extended in the spring of 2022 by two seasons with the option for another. Along the way there were fairs, discussions, busy … The contracts were signed. There were two. There are two. They were fulfilled?
They also say that the legal team of Mbappe has placed an embargo at € 55 million from PSG's funds until the legal stands are resolved, which will be on 26 May. Perhaps the most interesting part is that his lawyers also approached UEFA and asked them to suspend the PSG license to play in Europe next season if they do not pay. There is a regulation that states that if a club has not paid its players in the entire contract, the license may not be granted.
The legal team of Mbappe also announced that they would pursue the money through all available legal means, but PSG did not take long to respond. Their own statement was passed on by Marca.
“After having heard another fantastic story from a parallel universe, PSG still does not understand why Kylian Mbappe does not bring his dispute to the former club to the Conseil des Prud'hommes, the only court with jurisdiction to target the issue.”
PSG continues to say that they are open to a friendly solution to the dispute, “despite his actions in bad faith.” However, it seems that the solution will probably be that PSG will pay less than the Mbappe of € 55 million feels that it is owed by the club, something that the Real Madrid star does not seem to consider. While Mbappe seems to keep a lot of affection for his boys' club, the relationships with PSG CEO Nasser al-Khelaifi are tense.
