French football star Kylian Mbappé has intensified his financial dispute with his former club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) by taking legal action over unpaid wages. The 24-year-old forward has appealed to the Ligue de Football Professionnelle’s legal committee, alleging that PSG owes him €55 million ($61.19 million) in unpaid wages. Total bonuses could potentially bring the sum to €100 million ($111.26 million), according to reports by Le Monde.
Mbappé, who transferred to Real Madrid this summer after a seven-year tenure with PSG, has been at odds with the club’s management and main shareholder, Qatar Sports Investments, over the alleged withheld payments. The escalating dispute has now been referred to France’s professional football league, and Mbappé’s legal team is prepared to escalate the matter to an employment tribunal if necessary.
PSG maintains that their actions are justified, although details remain undisclosed. Negotiations between Mbappé’s representatives and the club are ongoing as both parties seek a resolution.
This legal confrontation adds another chapter to Mbappé’s high-profile career moves and could have significant implications for professional football contracts and player-club relationships in Europe.
