After unsuccessful mediation efforts, the French league's legal committee has ordered Paris Saint-Germain to transfer a significant amount to Kylian Mbappe. According to reports from L'Equipe and Le Parisien, the club must pay Mbappe €55 million within eight days. The legal action follows the breakdown of negotiations between the parties, with Mbappe's lawyers outright rejecting proposed settlements in recent days.
The dispute stems from Mbappe's move to Real Madrid at the end of his contract with PSG. The French striker claims that PSG withheld various payments, including bonuses, during the last three months of his tenure with the club. According to Mbappe, the club stopped payments after learning he would be leaving for Madrid. Among the disputed amounts is €30 million, which was supposed to be a stay fee for the 2023/24 season.
The legal committee's ruling mandates PSG to pay the €55 million due to Mbappe within eight days, marking a significant step in the ongoing conflict. However, this payment is unlikely to end the dispute, as the case is expected to proceed in the courts for further resolution. Mbappe's claim centers on a breach of contract and unpaid bonuses, intensifying the tensions between him and the Parisian club.
Should PSG fail to comply with the legal committee's ruling, UEFA could impose severe penalties, including a ban from European competitions and financial sanctions. While the case is far from over, the legal proceedings will determine how the club navigates this escalating financial and legal battle.
