Paris Saint-Germain has chosen not to appeal the labor court’s decision in its dispute with Kylian Mbappé (27), the Real Madrid striker. According to information relayed by Fabrice Hawkins (RMC Sport), the club considers this a “final hurricane” and, through its lawyer, Ms. Renaud Semerdjian, asserts that it has fulfilled all obligations related to the judgment.
” Paris Saint-Germain has decided not to appeal the decision of the Industrial Tribunal. For the Parisians, this is the end of the saga. “Contrary to the completely false claims of the player and his entourage, Paris Saint-Germain has fulfilled all the obligations imposed on it under this decision, whether it be the publication of the judgment—which it never contested—or the payment of the sums owed,” declares Maître Semerdjian, the Club’s lawyer.”
From a strictly legal standpoint, the choice not to appeal is primarily aimed at making the decision final and stopping the escalation of legal proceedings. PSG had one month after notification to contest the decision, but it was subject to immediate enforcement: even if they appealed, the sums would have had to be paid without delay.
By withdrawing its appeal, Paris is therefore seeking to close the door on a potential legal rematch on this specific point and to regain control of the narrative: the club maintains that it paid the full amount stipulated (nearly €61 million) and complied with the obligation to publish the judgment, while also noting that other requests from the player have been rejected. General weariness, but a classic strategy: the legal process is being cut off to prevent the case from becoming a sport in itself.
