Legal Tussle: PSG's €60 Million Obligation to Mbappé

A Paris labor court has ruled that Paris Saint-Germain must pay over €60 million to Kylian Mbappé for unpaid wages and bonuses, amidst a complex financial dispute as he moves to Real Madrid. The case involves significant accusations and contractual disagreements over his 2023 decision not to extend his PSG contract.

In a significant ruling, a Paris labor court ordered Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to pay Kylian Mbappé over €60 million in a conflict over unpaid wages and bonuses. This decision follows Mbappé's controversial decision not to extend his PSG contract ahead of his 2024 switch to Real Madrid.

The case, presented before the Conseil de prud'hommes de Paris, unfolded amid allegations of betrayal and harassment. The court sided with Mbappé, dismissing PSG's claims of damages and financial instability caused by his departure. Both parties are in heated disagreement over the contract's terms and financial expectations.

PSG intends to appeal against the ruling, which they argue is part of a broader legal battle over lost transfer opportunities. Meanwhile, Mbappé's representatives welcome the verdict as a reaffirmation of labor law's universal applicability. The legal saga continues as PSG contests Mbappé's narrative of fulfilled contractual duties.
