Kylian Mbappé, France’s 25-year-old striker, is now at Real Madrid following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain. However, not everything has yet been settled between the player and the club where he spent 7 years. The French international is in financial dispute with Paris over unpaid wages and bonuses, although PSG believes that an agreement had been reached. This Friday, the Ligue de Football Professionnel’s (LFP) joint appeals committee handed down its verdict following the club’s appeal against the legal committee’s decision, which was in the player’s favor. There are no changes.
“The Parisian reaction was swift. While the LFP’s joint commission found in Mbappé’s favor in his dispute with PSG over the 55 million euros in unpaid wages, the Parisian club told AFP that it refuses to pay this sum to its former player.
What happens next? The dispute is likely to be referred to the FFF or the CNOSF, or to the Prud’hommes.”
There’s no surprise here, since we didn’t really imagine that this other LFP commission would come up with a different opinion. Especially as some journalists point out that it is not really competent to do so.
Of course, the case is far from over, and there are still other possible appeals and other possible decisions. Even if we’re not really confident for PSG. In any case, let’s wait and see what happens.
