Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe finally left Paris Saint-Germain this summer, but not without bitterness. The French superstar continues to claim wages he is owed from PSG, who do not believe they should pay him anything due to an alleged verbal agreement that he would not be free.
Both Ligue 1 and the LFP disciplinary bodies have ruled in Mbappe's favor that he is owed PSG's €55.4 million for the months of April, May and June, although the LFP has not imposed any sanctions on the club. However, they continue to refuse to pay. L'Equipe, as suggested by Sport, says that now that PSG has been forced to transfer its accounts to UEFA on January 15, and one of the provisions of their regulations is that clubs cannot have debts to their employees, which would technically can include Mbappé. UEFA could decide to sanction PSG as a result, with penalties ranging from shortened squads and fines to suspension from the competition.
It seems highly unlikely that UEFA will ban PSG from the Champions League over this issue, especially if the matter has not yet been settled in a legal sense. Mbappe is not short of money and can afford to play the long game to get the money he is due, while in the meantime PSG buy time to improve their finances after expensive spending without making anything from the departure of Mbappe, Neymar Junior. and Lionel Messi.
